Description: | This small marine steam engine was made by the North Shields Engine Company. It has two cylinders of different diameters and is therefore called a 'compound' engine. Steam worked first in the smaller cylinder, and then in the larger one. These engines were very common in smaller vessels in the days of steam. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | made in the North East industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
