radiators with no vents

hello all, I have an English Tudor built in 1927 in New Jersey with. you guessed it single pipe steam heat! I have a number of recessed radiators that do not have the typical vent on the radiator. Some actually do have vents but again some of them don't. I read the thread about American Radiator having built in venting system but I honestly do not think this is what I have.... Has anyone come across steam radiators with no vents? I can provide pictures if need be.
Any help or insight is appreciated..
thx,
Chris in NJ

If there isn't some means of venting, those radiators will heat poorly -- if at all. So... ?
Some pictures surely would help.Br. Jamie, osb

Are you sure you have a single pipe ? It may be that some one removed them and never replaced them and just plugged them . Where u located peace and good luck clammy
