Folks, My museum in San Francisco meeds a source for pattern making and bronze casting of a governor for a clock work. It is similar to the four-armed device seen on some steam engines. Can anyone suggest a place in the Western United States that can do this kind of work? Ted Miles ted_miles@NPS.gov |

> Suggest you call Fred Bennett at the Trolley Barn in San Jose (408-293-BARN). Bob Schneider, a volunteer at the barn, does pattern work, and we've had a number of bronze items cast for nine trolleys that have been restored over the past twenty years. So close to home! claldrich@aol.com |

You can also call English Brothers in Hayward. (510 783 5700, 2337 American Ave.) They are a brass (bronze) foundry with pattern making abilities. Randy Hees http://WWW.SPCRR.org hees@ix.netcom.com |
