Looking for a book

in THE MAIN WALL
The Gas Fitters Guide to Electrical Schematics by Ken Smith, published in 1991 (at least my copy). Is it still in print, or is Mr.Smith still with us? I have used this as a basic text/exercise book for my gas classes; its a good starting point and reference.

    I have the book

    in my library the information I have is:



    KLS Training Corporation

    240 Portage Road P.O. Box 670

    Lewiston, NY 14092



    There is also an address in Canada



    I do however believe that the book is out of print. I have all of Ken's books and actually had some contact with him years back. I have a feeling the company no longer is in business.



    I would be happy to send you my copy and you could have it copied and send me my original back. Contact me at gastc@cox.net

    As always -

    The Wall is a very helpful place: and thanks for all the offers - I do have a copy of the book and I have it scanned as a hi-res file as well. I am particularly interested in contacting the publisher or author to formalize me and our College using the book - I do not wish to infringe on the copyright although I have been using some of the schematics on a regular basis. Tim - I would be interested in the Canadian address - can you PM me with the info? Or post it here - your choice. Merry Christmas -

    Glen,

    I think you could go ahead and use it with out concern. KLS seems to have disappeared from site. I called phone numbers I had for them and they are not even listed anymore, someone else has their old numbers.They were there own publisher under an ISBN number 1-895258-03-0 so if they no longer exist the material is public domain and can be reproduced by anyone without concern.
