Many people have recommended that I should search for this book because it would be very helpful towards me finishing my research project quicker. If anyone knows of this book and where I can find it, preferably in a pdf form, please let me know. I could really use the info it has in it when it comes to unknown companies or antique boilers. Hopefully someone knows about this book or has a tip as to how I can get it so I could see what information it could help me with.

    Did you dig around in the library on this site (i think it is called something else now), there are a few compilation books and may manufacturers' books in there. Click on the "website" link at the top and dig around.

    I don't know if it's exactly what you are looking for, but I use my "Burnham Hydronics Heating Helper" book almost every day.

    Look in the System Help tab at this site. Plenty of radiator and heat emitter output tables.

    IBR was another rating group from years gone by.

    We have several PDFs of the Beacon Boiler Reference books in our Heating Museum here: https://heatinghelp.com/systems-help-center/category/heating-museum/

    They are in the "Boilers - 1959 to 1980s" and "Boilers Prior to 1959" categories.

    You can also find them via search: https://heatinghelp.com/search/?keyword=Beacon

    The Burnham Heating Helper is the best thing Burnham ever did IMO. And its a download. I've got the book somewhere.
