Seek Plans to Build Steam Calliope
By Joe Isom

Does anyone out there know of any legitimate plans for [building]
a steam calliope.  I was truly amazed after seeing and hearing the
calliope on the Steamboat Natchez in New Orleans.

 [ A how-to-make-it booklet was published in the 1980s by Davis Calliope
 [ Works.  A photo of Davis' first instrument, and an illustration which
 [ shows the construction of the whistle and valve, appears at the MMD
 [ Calliope site,
