Looking for Elesco data

Hello, I doing some "industrial archaeology" on the Elesco feedwater heater. If you have any information on where I might find catalogs, drawings, etc. from the Locomotive Superheater Corporation, please let me know. I haven't been able to find much information at all on the internet.

The 1944 Locomotive Cyclopedia has a couple of pages on them.
