Beam Engine - Mike Cotterill
The beam engine, being built with exhibitions in mind, a mine engine used for pumping water from mines around 1870.
The large scale flywheel, crankshaft, cylinder and beam all built up and very heavy looking.
The beam is supported on built-up roller races without an axle.
The model is complete with a detailed parallel motion.
There are no visible gears or any visible means of driving the model which makes it all the
more fascinating to watch in operation.
