North Brother island

interesting history of an island that is off limits in NYC.

Seems a shame some use couldn't be made of this, anyone care to identify this steam valve?

  Cool. I see North Brother from Randalls Island. Looks like an Old Hoffman with the bakelite handle broken off. Cool find man tanks. Mad,Dog

  How often do you guys see steam radiators piped with supply at top?

  On a two pipe system, it's common.
