Boilers and Their Operation 1956 Navy Instructional Film

Interesting look at marine boiler operation. It's a delicate balance to make changes for the amount of steam needed - sprayer plate, return flow, blower setting, etc. Nice basic instruction for those involved in historic ship or locomotive restoration.

Interesting video. Better than the kiddy cartoons from my HVAC class that leave you feeling patronized by the instructor..

How much have things changed components-wise since then?

@VertNinja What kiddy cartoons are you refering to*?

@DoctorHver I can't remember the name of the video, sorry. It was more of a basic electricity video with children's cartoon characters, goofy voices, and ridiculous sound effects.. I felt it was more appropriate for a 3rd or 4th grade science class..
