Good evening Ron, in the page 15 of the sept-oct 1963 issue of Steamboat & Modern Steam Launches, there's an ad for Semple Steam Power. Can you please check your reference as I'm also interested in the subject? Thanx.

:oops: Whoooops! Should say page 22. Darn fingers get in the way of hitting the right keys. 'Course if you used the index at the back of the book and looked under "George Marshall" you'd find 3 entries, and from there the correct page. There's also a little "trick" that helps prevent the "plunger" from scraping the inside of the pump bore.
