    Looking for a book

    The Gas Fitters Guide to Electrical Schematics by Ken Smith, published in 1991 (at least my copy). Is it still in print, or is Mr.Smith still with us? I have used this as a basic text/exercise book for my gas classes; its a good starting point and reference.

    I found the title on Amazon but as you already know.....currently unavailable.

     Did you try e-bay or Craigslist ?

    I have the book

    in my library the information I have is:

    KLS Training Corporation
    240 Portage Road P.O. Box 670
    Lewiston, NY 14092

    There is also an address in Canada

    I do however believe that the book is out of print. I have all of Ken's books and actually had some contact with him years back. I have a feeling the company no longer is in business.

    I would be happy to send you my copy and you could have it copied and send me my original back. Contact me at gastc@cox.net

    As always -

    The Wall is a very helpful place: and thanks for all the offers - I do have a copy of the book and I have it scanned as a hi-res file as well. I am particularly interested in contacting the publisher or author to formalize me and our College using the book - I do not wish to infringe on the copyright although I have been using some of the schematics on a regular basis. Tim - I would be interested in the Canadian address - can you PM me with the info? Or post it here - your choice. Merry Christmas -

    Glen,

    I think you could go ahead and use it with out concern. KLS seems to have disappeared from site. I called phone numbers I had for them and they are not even listed anymore, someone else has their old numbers.They were there own publisher under an ISBN number 1-895258-03-0 so if they no longer exist the material is public domain and can be reproduced by anyone without concern.
