I was checking my radiator for leakage and, unless I am looking at it wrong, it seems this 1934 radiator is operated at atmospheric pressure. The vent pipe from the top of the radiator goes to atmoshere and there is no sealed chamber between tank and vent. I have two of these radiators and they both are the same. Were these meant to be that way or is something missing?

pressure caps didn't start till after the war, so yes, you have a "no pressure" rad, should have a plain flat cap

Aha! Thanks for that and that bit of history that goes with it. Makes it all the more interesting.
