Excerpt:
“Imaging cooling the fevered red head of a truck engine valve from 1300° F down to 1000° F! And doing it 900 times every minute.
That’s what the charge of sodium we seal into the hollow steel stems of heavy-duty Thompson valves does.
It quickly and continuously carries away the red-hot heat of exhaust gases in truck engines, aircraft engines, any engines that operate under heavy-duty service.”

This is a 70 yr. old original vintage ad removed from a 1953 publication and is not a reproduction of any kind.
