Re: Steamlines Shay smoke generator

[Walt Swartz]

If you could find tires made of natural rubber (smoke sheet) rather than
synthetic rubber, it would probably smell pretty good. Once had a job
cutting 3' x 3' x 3' bales of smokesheet into pieces that could be fed into
the 'banbury' mixers to make tire rubber and calendared stock for the plies.
Plant was powered by steam engine and jack shafts, belts, etc. I'm not as
old as the mighty Geoff, he worked as a wheel wright in the pre Henry ford
days!
Keep your steam up!
