extracted text: TANK TOASTER. A wedge-shaped container,
filled with gasoline or other inflammable liquid
and fitted with an ignition mechanism, has been
designed by Dr. Gleason L. Archer, president of
Suffolk University, at Boston, Mass, to give
advancing enemy tanks a warm reception. As
a tank rolls over the container, it

causes the gasoline to squirt up- .
ward through the container's jets,

and at the same time sets off the
mechanism that will ignite the fuel.
