Lists boiler types, numbers, fittings, variations, etc. for Doncaster locomotives and boilers. Coverage ranges from Stirling boilers to BR Standard boilers.
This collection of notes is the result of concentrated research at Doncaster Works (mostly in the Locomotive Drawing Office) during 1960-65. whilst records were still available.
