What better way to make a gauge easier to read in a dark boiler room than to illuminate it? I found one from around 1900 where the bulb was fixed behind the gauge, not always practical. Here's what Ashton Valve came up with. http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/download/f ... &mode=view http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/download/f ... &mode=view http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/download/f ... &mode=view http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/download/f ... &mode=view http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/download/f ... &mode=view http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/download/f ... &mode=view |

The 1920 catalog included a few pages explaining the reasons that the Ashton pop safety valve was superior to it's competition. http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/download/f ... &mode=view http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/download/f ... &mode=view http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/download/f ... &mode=view http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/download/f ... &mode=view http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/download/f ... &mode=view http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/download/f ... &mode=view |

In 1900 The US was negotiating trade treaties with other countries, including France, to reduce the tariffs and sell more US goods overseas. Many US firms contacted the President, McKinley, to express their support for a new treaty. Ashton Valve was one of them. http://www.railroadforums.com/forum/ind ... 41&slide=0 http://www.railroadforums.com/forum/ind ... 42&slide=0 http://www.railroadforums.com/forum/ind ... 43&slide=0 |

Ashton Valve only used Jessop Steel, a UK steel manufacturer from Sheffield England for their valve springs. Here is some information about the company.
