The Engineerium - 1875 beam engine
The engine is a Woolf compound rotative beam pumping engine by Eastons & Anderson. The slide valve cylinders are 28" x 64.75" and 46" x 96". The flywheel is 23' 6" diameter. The engine is good for 150 horsepower at 16 rpm and shifted 125,000 gallons of water per hour. The total lift was 600'.
A very pretty, well looked after and practically silent engine.
The engine was fairly whipping round and this 50:50 time and flash shot was deliberately taken at the end of the down stroke as there is relatively less movement of the beam end as the crank goes over top dead centre. It's worked - the beam shows minimal 'smear'.
