Mr. VanNatta says, ‘I purchased it in 1951 and have had it
reflued throughout by a L.V.R.R. boilermaker and inspector, who
says it is safe for more steam than I ever carry. I used the
steamer eighteen days this year threshing and filling silo. I carry
125 lbs. of steam but it will run the 16 inch Climax blower easily
on 85 lbs.
