Another viewI built this for a client and managed to deliver it in time for Christmas. I changed the method of making the protective shroud, and a couple of machining details, but otherwise it was made to the drawing. Mostly phosphor-bronze with brass used here and there. the shut-off valves and linkage, and the blowdown valve are stainless steel.

You can view the step by step build in the album posted today.

Hello Julian, I replied several days ago but the text has not appeared so I'll repeat:- Thanks for the kind words Julian, Im glad you liked it. Are you thinking of making one ? If so, let me know and I'll give details of some drawing shortcomings I had to overcome.

I wish you and all other M.E.'s a Happy New Year,

Regards,

Ken.
