I've heard the term but never seen one.

I'm wondering what to do with it. It belonged to my late Father and I doubt it is worth anything and I'm not going to scrap it. I was thinking maybe a museum would want it?

Think they use to mention them in some of the older Haynes manuals (sure it was in my old MK1 cortina manual) but they use to say something like "this would require the use of a growler, but this is a specialist piece of equipment so take to a garage that has this bit of equipment"

 

[CRB]

Most garages have them 'mounted' on the wall.
