[Steam-engine] Wachs Type R

[Richard Strobel]

I've copied and pasted the following questions (from me) to the President of 
the Wach's Company.  To date I have not been contacted by the person he gave 
my project to.  Maybe it would help to have someone else contact him also.

Francis I got your catalog of manuals, but as luck would have it, we already 
have the manual you list.  Thanks much!!

Here's the correspondence from the president and myself:

I'm sorry that you have not received any information.  The person to
whom I forwarded the responsibility let it drop through the cracks.  I
will follow up when I return.  I am currently in England on business and
will return on Sunday.

G'day Rodger;
  It's been a couple months since I contacted you about our Wachs steam
engine.  Could you possibly direct us to the museum director?
  We believe now ours is a 12hp and we have it totally disassembled and
in the process of removing all the coats of paint.  Mainly we are
interested in setup adjustments and the paint color(code).  The first
coat of paint looks like a very nice purplish blue.

  Any help at all would greatly be appreciated!!

Thank you for the pictures of your steam engine.  It constantly amazes
me that there are Wachs Steam Engines out in the field running.  We have
limited information on the engines, mostly in our company museum.  The
Wachs Company is 121 years old and the present owner and Chairman is the
4th generation of the Wachs Family.  I am the first non-family President
of the company.  The Company stopped making steam engines in the 1920's.
Presently, we manufacture industrial pipe cutting and beveling equipment
for large diameter pipe.  We also make a line of valve turning equipment
for water and gas transmission lines used by municipalities.  If you
could let me know what you are looking for, I will give it to one of our
people to research and get you a copy.  Once again, thanks for your
interest and the pictures.

Dear Mr. Soeldner;

It

  We plan on restoring the engine and will run it on air for the time
being.
To your knowledge, is there any information available on these engines?

Thanks in anticipation!
