RE: (erielack) Feedwater heaters

 The AMC was the "Advisory Mechanical commitee" that
was set up initially to oversee all mechanical issue
with the four Van Sweringen roads especially with
reguards to new power in conjunction with Lima
Locomotive Works (  The roads being Erie , Nickle
Plate C&O and Pere Marquette) They "stadardized" as
best they could with steam common practices and shop
procedures and had a master listing for all drawings
for motive power , structures and signage,
engineering.  

I work on the Nickle Plate 765 berk out of ft. Wayne
as well as the 4449 Daylight and CP 2816 hudson and
have extensive rebuilding experience on Worthington S
type systems. Have had to repair one in 5 states and
two countries and currently trying to stabalize the
one on the berk from some inconsistencies. The hot
water pump always is the problem as the cold water
pump is just a Pyle national MO with a centrefugal
pump on one end instead of a generator and the
exchanger portion is very simple in it's function the
hot water pump is the most finicky.
