REBUILDING A ROBERT MORTON WIND PRESSURE REGULATOR

(A three part series by John Kirkpatrick)

This article is a three-part PowerPoint demonstration that takes you, step-by-step, through the restoration of the relay wind pressure regulator at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans. Kirkpatrick made extensive repairs to this 4/26 Morton in the 1970's and he has graciously allowed his construction notes and photographs to be made public. John has promised that similar articles on other phases of his work will follow shortly.
