I would like to extend my thanks to the following people who provided help and information to make this article possible: my wife, Revonda, for putting up with the many hours I have spent working on and running my Gaar-Scott engines and studying old parts books; my father-in-law, Ronnie Blurton, for his help in scanning the images used for illustrations and in studying the U.S. patents; Robert Rhode, for his valuable help in editing; the staff at the Reynolds Museum (in particular Anne Shepherd) in Alberta, Canada, for providing information from their 1880s and 1890s catalogs; Thomas Stebritz, for providing many photocopies and much technical insight; Jim Jake Templin, for his technical insight on return-flue boilers; Gary Yager, for his insight on the 40 HP engines; Robert Holp, for information on Gaar-Scott's later firebox-style return-flue boilers; and, last but not least, Joe Graziana, for selling me the parts book that gave me the initial motivation to write this article.
