Hi Bill,
Roland and Steve and everybody are so very right... we have a few great books and plans at the Academy and we are ALWAYS interested in adding to our library. In fact, this is a great place to thank Chris Dubay for his recent contributions to the Academy's library. He sent along a great reproduction of the 1896 edition of NFPA 13 and some great resource material specifically for our library. We have a 1917 edition of NFPA 14, a 1905 textbook on fire pumps that includes the original NFPA 20 in it. We have a 1911 sprinkler plan on the cloth vellum. We also have an 1894 Grinnell Sprinkler Head. We are lucky enough to have a Grinnell Engineer's Handbook from 1957 (the old leather bound 4x6 flip book). We have an early 1950's estimating handbook from a General Automatic branch in Carolina. And as I have stated before, we were fortunate enough to recieve some FM data and other engineering textbooks from Cal Morrow as he retired in 1990. The Carolinas Chapter has given technical awards in his honor. It all stems from my being a sprinkler geek and I suppose there isn't much I can do about that. One item though..... please note the correct contact info for the Academy below. Our next 5 week, online calc class begins next week! ;) Thanks for all of your support out there in the real world!
