Rotary Snow
Winter again lies ahead, so can you help with a question regarding snow removal along the right of way?
I'm looking for data on rotary snow plows. I've seen many pictures of differing types and spent a very short time, one time only, on an SP wide wing.
What I am looking for is info on steam powered rotaries of any manufacture for any road, and how the pistons delivered their torque to the blade. I am thinking maybe like the drive train of a Shay locomotive? How many cylinders? Boiler pressure, etc.
The tables are turned here. I need info from dedicated rail fans, not the other way around.
If I need to search the Library of Congress or Patent Office, how do I go about that?
So this is a 'calling all foamers' type of thing. Time to earn your keep...
Thanks in advance.

Well, im not much up on snow removal equipment even considering my love of steam. but since you called us out!

heres a pic i found of a steamer without the shell! its a good enuf pic to give you an idea of how it was designed. not alot of info on this subject that i can see so far. though railfans arent the type to give up easily. if i had to guess, there werent many variations on this theme.
and it seems, while alot tried to produce these, only the popular loco manufacturers seemed to get the job done. i would think a Shay type drive would be better. the one in the picture above definately requires a gearbox at the end of the blade shaft. i can see that breaking many teeth whereas a Shay type wouldnt. you would still need a 'sheer-pin' device and im curious to know what that was.
ill see if i can dig up some more on this and add an edit later if i do.
the lib of cong is pretty simple. heres the link i use.
http://catalog.loc.gov/
the first page pretty much explains how to search. just know that the lib of cong is immense. hardly any of it has been put online thus far. a search there might mean offline methods for particular subjects (manual searching!). same with the patent office. ofcourse, if your actually wanting to patent something or are searching for one, a 'patent lawyer' might be a viable first step.

Rotary Snow
Blue Jays, Clever Mimics of the Bird World by Connie Smith
The other morning I followed the sound of what I thought to be a baby hawk, possibly in distress. Walking deeper into the woods as quietly as I could, I stopped often to home in on the insistent sounds. I hoped to catch a glimpse of a juvenile hawk, or at least the nesting site.
I finally reached the spot where the hawk sounds were the loudest. However, much to my surprise it was not a red shouldered hawk that flew out of the tree, but a blue jay uttering the same shrill but nasal
