Figure 8 roller coaster info



I'm searching for specific information about side friction figure-8
roller coasters constructed in the Great Lakes region between 1904 &
1908 - especially those in Michigan.  Though my research centers around
the coaster built in Kalamazoo during the early months of 1907, similar
(if not identical) models were built in Grand Rapids, St. Joe, South
Haven, Jackson, Lansing and Battle Creek during the same period.  It
also appears that some (if not all) were built by the same company.
I've read Robert Cartmell's fine book, and wrote the Philadelphia
Toboggan Company (though to no avail).  I'm specifically interested in
blueprints, technical drawings or information, construction company info
and photos - though practically ANYTHING about any of these coasters
would be most helpful and, of course, greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,
