SelecTemp Modulating Zone Heating
Turbonics offered this unusual steam system, which Iron Fireman had come up with years before. It was called SelecTemp and offered self-modulating zone heating. Thanks to Gerry Gill for finding and sharing the document on The Wall, and to Frank "Steamhead" Wilsey for bringing it up again years later.
