1965: Centre-Flue blowlamp-powered Launch Boiler for model boats [image info]

CENTRE-FLUE LAUNCH BOILER

The principle of the Centre-Flue Boiler is obviously ideal for model power boats. The Cross Tubes in the centre-flue ensure very rapid generation of steam. The blowlamp flame is enclosed and surrounded by the water space of the boiler, so that the inside of the boat hull is not subjected to extremely high temperature. It is only necessary to line the hull with sheet asbestos and to mount the boiler on chocks as shown in the illustration.

Petrol is used for the blowlamp – this fuel gives an intense clean flame.

The power plant as shown is fitted with hand lever pump for filling the boiler while under steam pressure.

The separate boiler is supplied complete with check valve, to which connections from the pump may be attached. The pump reccommeded for this purpose is our No. 145/1.
