Factory SV Boiler

 

This was made at the end of the Stanley steam automobile era sometime in the 1925 era.  It can be identified because the boiler is of larger diameter than the burner, hence a ring that is necked down so the boiler will fit on top of a smaller burner.  It was stored in a garage for years in a 1930’s era automobile converted to steam.  This is rusted some, but a good example of the construction and design of a traditional fire tube Stanley boiler wire wound.   Factory SV Boiler, boiler, steam boiler, Stanley era boilier 1925, Fire tube Stanley boiler

The SV (Steam Vehicle) burner is distinctive in that it has one mixing tube/venture feeding vaporized fuel and air under the burner.
