[Steam-engine] Boiler Inspections

[Parker Fowler]

On the theory that no news is good news, I haven't rattled the boiler  
inspector folks' cage in Denver for years, which means that I haven't  
called for an inspection for a long time.  Because my kids are so  
damn busy raising their own kids and don't have time to help their  
really old Dad crank up the Minnie, we haven't fired up for some  
years, but I still have hope.
The last time I asked, Colorado doesn't require an historical boiler  
to have anything other than the original body and appliances on the  
machine, and working properly.  Mine doesn't have the original  
crosshead eater pump (which I sure wish I could find somewhere), but  
a second Penberthy works fine, and I also have a small steam lizard  
of unknown manufacture hooked up and it works, too.
What is Appendix C, and do we know anything about its applicability  
in Colorado?  How can I get a copy, for it sounds like interesting  
reading?
I'm glad you old f***s are still corresponding, even if I don't join  
in much (or at all).  There are probably many lurkers like me lurking  
lurking peeking and whatall.
Merry Christmas to all!!!!!

  Lawrence mentioned appendix C and I will
confess that I am asking questions because Appendix C
may be comming to Indiana soon.  The steam owners are
even putting together an Association to work with the
state on inspection issues.
