The ASME began as an adjunct to insurance companies, and both grew  
rich while making the country far safer than when boiler explosions  
were sometimes attributed to demons.  Only inspected boilers would be  
insured, and no hanky-panky was used, but it still paid off like a  
traditional protection racket.  Those books of standards are worth  
their weight in gold and blood.  That's why I'm here - internal  
combustion is safer, and more efficient on a small scale.
