Description: | This was the smallest engine of the three piston rod type listed by Pollit & Wigzell, and it had remained unaltered for 65 years, with very little trouble or repairs. Built in 1898 as a horizontal single crank tandem to produce metal fittings for the building trade, it was only superseded by electric motors when the boiler, had been reduced from 100 to 60 psi, and was no longer sufficient to run the machinery. | Subjects: | Steam Engine Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Watkins, George | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
