If anyone is interested in OLD methods of boilermaking,
these books may answer some of your questions:

"The Theoretical and Practical Boiler-Maker"
by Samuel Nicholls (British), Published in
New York in 1882, 273 pages.

"The Boilermaker's Assistant" by John Courtney,
Weale's Scientific & Technical Series,
London, 1908, 108 pages, plus about 30 pages of
catalog descriptions of other books in series.

Both books are small, about 6" x 9", leather bound,
and VERY much used, but still completely legible.

Belong to an aquaintance; taking offers for him.
Please e-mail:
