Article from Engineers and Engines

8D-132, I (unfortunately) never heard of the magazine, and of course didn't read the series of articles. It is amazing that you should bring this up now. I have chatted with the ACMOC board of directors about securing articles for our magazine, and we have done some thinking about it. I'd like to see the article, and have a way of contacting the author. Maybe you could help me by sending a photo copy to my home - address in the front of the ACMOC magazine. I may be in the minority, but I think that our magazine could be improved with a greater variety of articles. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. GWH

GWH,
I will take what I have and send a copy to you!
I would like to read the whole series.

I will check with my buddy Chuck. I think he has about every copy of E&E along with what is called Steam Traction now. He will copy them for me if he does. He might be a little more encouraged to do it if some one was going by Zimmerman's and could get him the boiler #s of those two 75 hp Case boilers. I will call him tomorrow and see what he has.

TW, I'll see if I can get those boiler numbers for you! GWH

Thanks George. Chuck has a 9hp Case traction engine and has been getting numbers off Case engines and other engines for many years. If the tags are not on the boilers the boiler numbers are on the rear sheet of the boiler at either 12 o clock or 2 o clock. Might need some sand paper to find them. I recently went with Chuck and looked at a couple of Case boilers. No engine # tag on either, but we did find the boiler #s. One was a 1909 and the other a 1921.

tw, I will pass this info along to Jim. Thanks. GWH

tw, the numbers on the two Case boilers are as follows:

1st boiler: 6501 and A2815

2nd boiler: 16811 and A4570

The boilers and the steam engine parts that went with them, are for sale. $2,000 takes all.

I spoke to Chuck this morning. He will look up the article and photo copy it for me. As for reprinting it I am sure you will have to get permission from Brenda(current owner of E&E) or Don(former owner of E&E). I have spoke to both in the past and found them to be very nice people.
