I have an older boiler and need to find specs. The data plate is barely legible, I could only get what I think is the name of the mfg, RedTop or United State, a size of A6 and a serial # 64479.

    A-6 Capitol Red Top Boiler

    From a U.S. Radiator Corporation bulletin, July 1930, entitled "Capitol Red Top Boilers"...

    An “A-6” has 280 ft2 direct C.I. radiation with steam  and 460 ft2  with water.  Output capacities are 575 and 975 respectively for steam and water.  All fuels and oil-burning types have the same ratings, so these are probably automatic firing rates.
