Re: Trade school curriculums - how could they be better?
What resources don't the primary and secondary schools have access to?
Just textbooks and teachers are all that is needed.
My financially strapped school district offered Algebra 1 & 2, geometry, trigonometery, and the beginning of collage level calculus. (late 1960's).
Having taken all of these prepared anyone for any trade school math.

Re: Antique steam heat boiler/radiators
I'm not sure how to properly respond to people who asked me questions. I've edited my post to try to answer the questions. I've called at least a dozen places. Most of these have looked at this boiler and said, they've never seen anything like it. Some are too busy or don't work with steam boilers. I would love it if the part could just be replaced. But the three people who seemed to know what they were talking about, didn't believe it was possible. Largely, because they don't know where to find the parts anymore that haven't been made in fifty years.

Re: Waterfurnace Premier water flow light
I pulled both pumps off and there was no debris. The water was clear. There was just signs of rust on the parts. I did not see any type of strainer or filter. Both pumps are working. Just seems odd that the issue would resolve for a few days with a simple breaker reset. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Re: how much does size matter in feet?
How are you sure that it's an open tank, @scatgo ? I sounds to me like a regular steel compression tank.

Re: Steam Near Boiler Piping
Here's a thought about the charred wood. I wonder if someone used a cutting torch on it to get needed clearance for piping, same as if it was a steel beam?

Re: Steam boiler equalizer
The whole thing sounds like BS to me. Will have to download a Burnham manual (yuk) and read it.
