Solid injection diesel engine built by W H Allen Sons & Co Ltd of Bedford in 1943 for the Radar Research Establishment, Malvern. 8 cylinder 4 stroke with cylinders 240 x 300 mm, 260 kVA at 600 rpm. Drives a 3-phase alternator. Donated by Qinetiq in 2005. This was seen running and made a gorgeous noise - normally aspirated medium speed diesels sound so much nicer than turbo-diesels.
