They do certainly know what they are doing - I'm sorry to have missed
them. The problem you encountered before may have been due to it being
very difficult to ensure that boiler pressure remains at the required
level if there are unpredictable delays at locks - on the same section
of the S Oxford I was sometimes having to run on 80 psi rather than the
110-115 psi which would be desirable, because of having to close the
boiler down to keep it under control while we were waiting and then
having it refuse to build pressure again when we were finally able to
move.
