The final link listed (www.heatershop....) mentions their Hy-lo heater being called a salamander heater and a supposed reason for the term.

If you google hy-lo heater you will find [1] which has a nice picture of a hy-lo heater.

We had one of these in our pole barn, and it was always called the salamander. (1970's).

Did the traditional "Salamandra" heater look anything like this?

Since the heatershop.com's story is possibly the original source for the term, I would hope a picture could be inserted into the wiki page, and also mention the fact that the original salamander heaters are *not* forced induction...
