Hi Folks

Thanks for the link to the newspaper article. An interesting man.

Could I take this thread a little further by asking if anybody has any details of the Newton Coil Boiler that David King manufactured for a while. There are still a few about and I am trying to help a friend get sufficient technical details to be able to get his model a Cert. If it fails, then it might be interesting to try getting a new one built provided we can get the specifications.

Regards

Pete

Hi there is a mention of a newton coil boiler in a old ME; vol 186 issue 4139 page 129, but unfortunately I dont have that issue to be able to say any more…

Hi Vic and fellow engineers

Many thanks for that reference. I will advertise to see if anybody has it on Home Workshop. Of course, if other Members of this forum would be willing to send me a PDF of it from their Library, I would be most grateful.

Regards

Pete
