The tiny tale I’m about to share with you got me thinking about noisy radiators. 

Very few Americans are, but that was the title of the short, silent film I watched on YouTube. The United States Bureau of Mines Department of Commerce made it during the 1920s, and it’s filled with drama and also an annoying surprise.

I spotted this question on The Wall at HeatingHelp.com. It was from a brand-new parent and it made me smile because brand-new parents think they can control everything their brand-new child does.

Ever wonder why the Dead Men painted so many of those old, free-standing, steam- and hot-water radiators silver?

In Frankfurt, they just smile at you and tell you to stick your keycard in the wall slot if you’d like electricity.

A few issues ago I wrote about the chaos caused by installing motorized zone valves in older steam-heating systems found in places of worship.

At the turn of the 20th century, the American Radiator Company was the big cheese when it came to hydronic heating.
