TANKS July 1977 RAIN Page l3 We received this list of Brazilian exporters of electric shower heaters from Ted Bakewell just as we were going to press-too late to check out product specifications. They are probably similar to the ltalian models. Lorenzetti S.A. Ind. Bras. Eletrometal. Av. Pres. Wilson 1230 Sao Paulo SP BRAZIL Prod. Eletr. Corona Ltda. R.

Al. Am6rica 9O Jau SP BRAZIL as much of our needs as possible with minimum loss of convenience. Both Ted and Ken Smith have promised us info on the Mexican and Brazilian units-we'11 pass that on in RAIN as soon as we get it. David Hitchcock sent us some information on gas-fired units made by Sanyo in Japan that a friend found in Mexico-we're still trying to track them down. Sanyo representatives in the U.S. say they're not imported and aren't even sure if Sanyo makes them now. Information on another unit, the Valient Geyser, sold in the U.S. by Norcold Corp., was sent to us by Creative Associates, but it turns out that Norcold stopped selling them several years ago. We've found only two wood-fueled models-the Silverstar, and the Blazing Showers stovepipe heaters for woodstoves (P.O. Box 327, Point Arena, CA 95468). Both are, understandably, tank units. We're still looking for wood-fired Japanese bath heaters. Any ideas? Let us know of any experiences with any of these units, or any others you know of-we'll do an update later. ASCOT (c.8.)
