Thank you Dave, that was both very interesting and amusing.

I love to learn the 'true history' that has been glossed over or ignored.

Interesting, I'm sure there is a lot of truth there however I don't see any modern installer going by what was previously installed. I doubt even 30 or 40 years ago they did, boilers would be grossly oversized.
