I had this plan and loaned to someone who misplaced it. It is drawn by someone from France and it is about 7 pages in total. I am looking to replace it but cannot find it or ID it. Would appreciate a lead.

Well.. nothing was connected to the steam throttle. There was a lever but it was free of anything. As far as drawings, there are none. I have a feeling that this was an engineers project but there are some things that were mass produced looking at the lettering on the valve chest.

Yes it is. I am trying to understand this contraption myself. The lever on the bottom barelly moves the center weight by about 3/8. ad frankly I do not understand the function of the lever. I will be redesigning the support for the whole thing because it is cast in pot metal and it is flimsy.

Picked up this engine over the weekend and after a couple of hours of cleaning and rust removal it looks pretty good. I need all the info I can get on it so please feel free to comment.

I am looking for plans for a Kingdon boiler.

Anyone know of any plans for a Kingdon boiler?

From beautiful Michigan. I am a retired jeweler/metalsmith wit not enough hours on my hand. I do reverse engineering/scanning of classic car parts, designing Rc scale airplanes and boats and cutting them on my laser cutter. I also machine Stuart steam engines and about to build my first boiler...
