@Londy3 Cadillac👍🏻 Still GM. A Caddi and a Vette are on my bucket list. I crossed off the Camero and Harley years ago, I wish I still had that ‘72’ Camero, it had a good radiator😬
Interesting...I truly didn't know that the great inventor of modern manufacturing methods and staunch supporter of capitalism, Henry Ford, was a commie...I learn something every day...oh, and, radiator.
That's right, hand warmers in the tailgates sound better than what GMC and Dodge does with handwarmers in the cab so you can masterbate in cold weather while waiting for the tow truck Radiator.
I know this man's literature well; Roger Keeran is a devout communist (American historian and academic as well). This piece you posted, if you read all of it, to my recollection (because I read it so long ago) was basically saying that the shorter hours and higher wages that Ford paid was somehow because of the workers' pressure and cohesion in the automotive industry and/or manufacturing in general. To some extent he's correct, but it was more a supply issue...if demand for your vehicles is high, yet workers keep walking out on you, at some point, something needs to give and you compromise...but that's just it, it was a compromise. The workers gave a lot as well (like working alternating overtime weeks for instance). The problem is that Keeran and the other communists needed to play this up as a win for the "workers"...i.e., a win for Marxism, even though it really wasn't. In other words, his pieces read more like good advertising/marketing than fact...and this concept of "New Capitalism" was part of that.
You have to realize that Keeran wasn't writing this when these events transpired, he was writing this years later through the lens of not just an historian, but as a devout communist and historian.
@Montecristo Maybe if they were 50% off and had a better selection of bowls. Those look like they might be a hard sell even if there was a $100 bill rolled up and stuffed in the bowl.
I don't think that hwiebe gave birth to the Radiator pipe. The principle behind that type of pipe was what lead to the invention of both the Falcon and Kirsten metal pipes.
I’m pretty sure this link may have posted somewhere here in the past, but here it is anyway. There are lots of unique/strange pipes, a pretty extensive deep dive. http://www.smokingmetal.co.uk/
So does anyone have a radiator pipe? I'm wondering how it smokes. I like the minimalist nature of it. The flexibility in styles is also nice. Significantly more than a falcon though which is similar at least in some ways.
I do not have an Hweib radiator pipe. I do have a bunch of Kirstens, A Falcon, a couple of Zest pipes, a couple of Kaywoodie’s similar to the Falcon, three Tsuge Spiders (same as Tsuge Drew Estate pipes), a Nording Eriksen….probably some other similar ones as well. They all smoke well for me, but you need to clean them right away after a smoke. They get nasty, and the parts can stick. They all basically work like a traditional gourd Calabash, reverse calabashes, and “well” pipes such as a Peterson System, Savinelli Dry, etc.
@Whoispra If I were to get one of the HWiebe radiator pipes, I would pick one of the red with polished fin body, a black bit, and the black sandblast volcano bowl (IF, I could see a picture of the actual bowl I would be purchasing first). I do notice on the site that they are out of stock on many of the parts, and have been for awhile. I wonder if they are even producing them anymore, or just selling out what they have?
These types of pipes seem to have a stigma of being a pipe used for plant materials other than tobacco, which they would probably work well for? Knowledge of such use is not my forte however.
How about this for a paradox? Have you ever seen something you thought was really cool, while at the same time knowing you wouldn't care to own it? That's the way I feel about radiator pipes. They're unique, I enjoy looking at them, but for some unknown reason, never cared to purchase one...🤔 Don't get me wrong, if I ever run across one in good shape and cheap, well, you know... PAD...🙄

That's strange... I've always considered myself irrelevant, not thinking anyone else could hold that title as well...
