Steam Engineering Seminar Manual (Boiler Basics) $20.00
This is the manual used for the steam
engineering seminar held every year in Iowa for two days. We are
offering this manual as it begins where Skip Gobel's Basics of Steam Engineering leaves off on
firetube boilers
The seminar manual, very heavily illustrated,
is the most thorough and easy-to-understand manual on steam
boilers we have ever seen. Every single piece and part of a direct flue
boiler, return flue boiler, and upright boiler is illustrated and
explained, including boiler construction.
The second half of the manual contains
illustrations and explanations of the workings of D-valve steam
engines, governors, greasers (for lubrication), the clutch, and both
used-to-new farm equipment.
Mike Brown spent two days at this seminar this
year, learning how to operate a 1923 Illinois steam tractor. As he put
it, "I’ve never operated anything so powerful."
The steam engine in the Illinois is rated at
35 steam horsepower.
