Ridgway! Thanks to Sam Schreiner!

Thanks for the news, Steve.
It will be great to see it on #9.
If you notice an adverse effect on the draft, you can always fold it over, it will look just fine in that position as well.
I doubt you will have any problem with draft. The mesh is pretty wide, and has run hot on #346 on several occasions under steam with no ill effects.
Remember, if you all will, that the builder of this cinder catcher is Sam Schreiner, who worked as a metal worker in the area for many years before moving to Arizona. It is made from a reasonably heavy gauge of Aluminum, and will be much easier to handle than the original sheet iron versions.
Sam used John Maxwell's redrawn C&S drawings as a pattern, and it fit perfectly on both #74 and #346. The #74's cinder tube had to be shortened on #346 by leaving out a section due to the much shorter height from the top of the stack.
If it is determined that someone would like to have a Ridgway Cinder Catcher for #9 to call her own, I'm very sure that another could be fabricated.
This one, like the tender behind #9 now, belongs to #74.
We'll all be waiting to see pictures as soon as someone can get them posted.
Thanks to everyone for keeping us out in the wilderness informed!
Mike Trent, #74 Committee Chairman 1980-1988
