This is a manifold built by The Economy Manifold Co, Pat. Applied For, Syracuse, NY

Does any one have any history and why it was designed this way?

Thanks

That is a manifold with a heating jacket cast around it. The idea was to heat the cold air fuel mixture as it passes through the manifold and enters the engine. Neat item. Similar to the RAJO. I would be interested in buying it if you want to sell it.

This post didn't seem to get much clarification. Perhaps someone will have the information you are looking for this time.
