Turner Corporation “The Hot One”

Transcript (Download)

Here comes the hot tornado.

The need for heat is as old as man.

When lightning struck a tree, the first man worshipped the magic flame.

When he recovered from his awe, he used the flame for cooking and warmth.

To make tools and weapons.

He made bronze, steel, autos, cities, airplanes and spaceships.

He worshipped the flame, but he used the heat.

Today, in the busy and active home, plant or shop, we need heat.

Fast, transportable, quick energy for a million uses.

And it takes a tornado to really make the job move.

The Turner Corporation in Sycamore, Illinois, has a long history in creating and producing portable torch equipment.

Turner is the acknowledged leader in its field simply because of its constant search for new and important innovations in this technology.

After years of study, its research and development department has discovered and perfected a basic new principle in the design of the Turner Tornado Torch.

The new Turner Tornado Torch is hotter than ordinary torches for two reasons.

One, its flame temperature is higher.

And two, its flame velocity is greater.

The tornado's higher flame temperature is obtained because the air -fuel ratio is carefully calculated for optimum combustion.

The design entrains exactly the required amount to match the fuel from the orifice.

The tornado's greater flame velocity is obtained by allowing the maximum amount of energy to reach the workpiece.

The secret is to provide a minimum of slow -moving gas and therefore maximize the fast -moving mainstream.

The tornado design taps off a very small amount and forces it to spin in a slow -moving vortex.

This vortex, easily lighted, supports the maximum center stream.

And in addition to the vortex design, the Turner Tornado completely eliminates orifice clogging with its amazing new 20 micron orifice filter.

This sintered bronze filter traps impurities before they reach the orifice hole, assuring an uninterrupted flow of fuel.

No more clogging ever.

Now the Turner Tornado performs better in any position.

It just won't clog, even when used upside down.

The Turner torch was put through thousands of test procedures.

The most interesting was the competitive side -by -side laboratory test against other brands with the objective, make it hot.

Make it the fastest, hottest torch in the world.

The Turner Tornado is a proven in the laboratory and guaranteed for 100 years, the new Turner Tornado torch was further surrounded by new and exciting package design and a graphics program that has total impact in display.

A variety of kits, tote carriers, and metal chests were designed, including a variety of torch tip sizes, to give scope and promotional flexibility to the line.

National advertising supports the Turner Tornado and many dealer aids and collateral materials are available.

And it is made by Turner, leader in propane torches and cylinders.

The Tornado will outperform and outsell all of its competition.

So, this is the hot one.

The Hot Tornado by Turner.
