Looking for information to help me understand this furnace electric controls

The controls on that old burner will be pretty basic.
Any older heating person will be able to tell you what you need to know.
My guess is it has a bimetel control that runs the fan to move the heat,probably much like the oil burners of that era.
Then it will have a damper control for combustion air that the thermostate will control.

Thanks - I'll read that carefully again and see if I can relate it to the controls. Been here since May and only just started using it on our first snowfall. I agree with the idea of an older heating person knowing ... plan is get a handle on it a bit then contact a specialist so at least I will understand what they are talking about. Lou
