Gravity System design information

in Radiant Heating
I am looking for information, books, articles, websites, anything on how gravity fed radiant systems were sized for boilers, piping, operating temperatures/differentials, and emitters. If anyone could point me to some books, or if anyone has books they are willing to part with, or simply has the information it would be greatly appreciated. I have already read Dan Holohan's books and have learned a great deal from those resources. What is most important for me to find is information on the engineering practices of designing and building a gravity system. Thank you!

Jake

    If it's radiant in floor heat you talking about that won't work with gravity.

    If you talking about gravity with CI radiators look in the used bookstores for some old ASHRAE books that have gravity information (1920s & prior)

    There were some old wall radiant systems in Europe that I believe were built in the 1800's. I don't remember where I read about them, if it wasn't one of Dan's books, it was probably Robert Bean and Healthy Heating.
