Baldwin Hills, Cheveron Boiler House

by Bruce Petty

The above LEFT picture shows the cast Iron boiler doors with the boiler builder clearly identified as the Baker Iron Works. In the RIGHT picture the brick work has been taken down showing the boiler tube end seen in the backgroud. Duplex steam pumps in the foreground were used to pump feed water and oil to the burners.

Here is a clearer view of the Duplex Steam Pumps. The oil can sitting on the steam chest held Steam Cylinder Oil and was used to fill a lubicator that allowed this special oil to mix with steam and lubercate the pumps internal parts.
