330/R365 - Pines Winterfront Company - Chicago, Illinois

Pines Winterfront Company, with this factory location found at Division Street and Cicero Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, made thermostatically controlled radiator grills that allowed engines to warm up in a cold environment. Invented by James Raleigh in the 1920's, the 'winter front' controls the amount of cold air entering the radiator in the colder months to aid in bringing the engine up to operating temperature faster. Consisting of a thermostat that pressed against the cars radiator core, its shutters cut off air flow allowing the engine to warm up when exterior temps were very cold. Once the car engine warmed, the thermostat operated levers that opened the louvers allowing air to flow through again. Some time in the 1930's, car manufacturers began to install thermostats inside their engines more like we have today. Thereafter, the need for Winterfronts faded and the business faded as well. However, it is extremely impressive that such a short-lived company was successful enough to build such an impressive factory.

This photo was taken in 2013 during my previous Project 365…please visit my album for this “REMASTERED” Project 365 as I revisit each day of 2013 for additional photos to share!!

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
