What's this got to do with steam? They had a big boiler and used steam 
throughout the brewery. We used to go there to get brewers grains for cattle 
feed. The cows would actually get tipsy on the fresh stuff.
Keep your steam up!

Ah, you've used the old spelling.  It was my great grandfather (so family
lore has it) who, when being taught to write his name about a century and a
half ago exclaimed "that don't say Chayney, that says Cheeney" and our
branch of the family have used what I have always thought of as the American
spelling ever since.  (I note, incidentally, that one of our clan has found
his way into the White House.)  The name was originally Dequesne, being 11th
century Norman French for "of the oak grove".  I just haven't manage to
trace a direct connection that far back - yet!

Hi,
Very generally, the Mike lubricator is a horizontal tube approx. 5/16"
diameter by 2 or 3" long with a very small diameter Cu tube in the front end
connected to the steam line just above the split to the cylinders.
Keep your steam up!

Steve:

The Aster Mike has a dead leg lubricator.  I use about one "tank" for every
75-90 minutes run time.
