23 forum posts 4 photos	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
