Welcome to Buckles Blog. This site is for the discussion of Circus History all over the world.
This looks like the photo that was taken on the Sun Bros. Circus. This calliope is also listed in the 1900 John Robinson Route Book.Bob
That's a large pressure guage mounted to the right of the cone of the steam boiler stack so it can be read from a distance
Exceeding the safe pressure limit can be an extreme hazard (& it's also very dangerous as well) Con Edison in NY still provides steam throughout much of the city
# 36 Robinson by 1899 thru 1911 per Conover/Pfening list Nov-Dec 1969 BW.
