G'day Allen,
There are a couple of good web sites featuring USRR paperwork and manuals.
But, I don't think that very much exists concerning soot belcher specifics.
Diagram books were not common here, except for maintenance.
We did have booklets issued to firemen and drivers providing PREFERRED prep, cleaning, firing and driving practice.
The catechism booklet provided tuition by way of instructions followed by a quiz.
Basically to get the person up to speed for the big safe working and loco working tests.
But, it was generally experience that provided the major tuition.
Get rostered with a good driver and absorb the technique.
And compare the various techniques when with drivers doing things differently.
Steve.
