I have found 6 y-blocks that are old wind machines used to keep frost off in orange groves (35 ft. in air) I am too old and scared to climb up for closer look to check #'s. All have ram's horn exhaust and maybe propane.  Could anyone please help with identifying what year and the cubic in. did ram's horn 1st appear?   Thank you, Charlie, central fl.
