I have been taking up flooring as part of the process for putting down a new floor. There were two half inch holes in the old wide pine floor boards an inch from a wall. Then in the basement I found next to one hole, a small pulley with a one inch wheel that aligned with one of the holes. This pulley also aligned with where a coal fired boiler would have been. This told me that there was a control of some sort mounted on the wall above the holes. A quick search showed me a diagram of a thermostatic control for the draft of a boiler which connects to the boiler by a pair of cables running through pulleys. The house where I grew up which was built in 1949 had hydronic heat via an oil burner and cast iron radiators. I know that there were however still plenty of coal fired boilers well into the sixties. Does anyone remember a thermostat that controlled the boiler by this type of system?
