[Woodrunner (Göran kindervall)]

I finally found some info about ASEA-“Milo” wood gasifier, made in small series in Ludvika, Sweden.

These gasifiers was know to “backfire” alot, owners of these seldom had any eyebrows left.
I don’t know why, it’s the only thing i’ve heard about them.

Recently i got a “tiny” book, with lots of motoring news, 1941.

So here’s some pic’s.
