Hi Pat,

Thanks for trying to find info on this for me. I've spent a couple of
hours trying all the searches I could think of to find info on this
one and I did find that link and another selling a cookbook from the
company dated 1944.

I'm hoping I'll find someone who has one of these and knows how to use
iy so they can guide me. I've never used a cooker/canner without one
of the weighted rockers being used for pressure/temperature control.

Thanks for trying.

Meg
