[D8322ZEM], Letter from Gardiner C Sims to Thomas Alva Edison, December 18th, 1883
Editor's Notes
changed pattern of 14 1/2 x 13 starting valve "so that flange for 5" steam pipes can be used". Several orders (identified) shipped to Ohio towns and Mach. Works. You have 46 engines ordered. Requests shipping directions and dates "so that there will be no delay when you want them". "We now have 100 men and are obliged to work overtime". Boilers finished then filled with water to find leaks, steam pressure reveals small leaks, "in many cases they 'take up' and disappear"but caulked as necessary. Offers to answer any questions re above.
