What were those boilers burning?

I remember some big buggers like that where I was an apprentice, some burning coal, some burning bunker oil.

I use photobucket only for putting photos on that I don't mind people seeing as I know that the folder becomes open

For a few years now this has been called the "Glitter Paradox"

Hi Prodave, They burnt heavy oil, it was about the consistancy of mollasses, so had to be heated. Will describe all when i get back, [got to go out a second!!]

Yes that's what we had. the cheapest of the cheap, virtually unrefined.

probably better than your work

Hi Leesparky,

I see that you are a proper genius!!!! Please enlighten us all then, especially me, as i installed it!!

Why have you chose to make your comments in a different thread?? Are you one of them troll idiots???

Since you know it all, I might as well tell you that on this forum, we JUST LOVE constructive criticism, especially by geniuses, so, come on then, list all faults with the install, quoting reg numbers that apply, and what you would have done better!!!!

Lets see how far you get!!!!!!!!!

Hi Tony,

That is very interesting! Thank you very much!! There was a makers plate that can be seen on the front of the boilers. I cannot remember the makers name, and cannot make it out from the photo either, but so far as i know it was a firm in Leicester?? Would that be right for Cockran?? The burners i have no idea, but i will post some more info later that might confirm what you think.

To the left of each boiler can be seen an enclosure full of the control gear. This had "metro-cammell" or someone cammell written on the front of them, but i always thought they made railway trains?? It was something like that though!!

I've got to be honest, i read that as somewhat of a sarcastic comment with humour in mind. looking at the photo, it's pretty much faultless.

 

[apprentice87]

Ah, sarcasm did not occur to me.  Sorry if I have caused any offence. (I am not the brightest when it comes to that sort of thing!).

 sorry if it didn't come across correct it was intended exactly the way blue to bits put it in post 16.

 

[apprentice87]

Hi LeeSparky,

Sorry about that!!!!! I do not understand sarcasm or jokes etc. I have Aspergers you see... Everything is "black and white" to me with not much in between.

[i feel a proper prat now.........]

Sorry...

Thats a problem with the written word.....smileys often help convey your meaning
