Making Radiator Tubes

[andypugh]

Our 1916 Dennis is badly in need of a more watertight radiator. 
For this we need a number of flattened brass tubes (it's a slightly unusual core pattern)
Initially we thought of squashing round tube with rollers, but the tubes need to be dead straight and rolling probably won't achieve that. 

Looking at period Serck ads on Graces Guide https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Serck_Radiators (November 1922 Advert) they boast of having over 100 draw benches for the production of tubes, so that was the route I decided to explore.

Nothing like a good challenge! You are going to have to draw something like 300 feet. Good luck with it!

Will they need before & after annealing...?
