Hi all,
Don't forget the Economiser!
There is a lot of info about boilers and steam engines generally in
the Watkins collection in the NMR at Swindon. There is a good
chance that he he would have seen and photographed many of the
winding engines mentioned. All will be included in the Stationary
Steam Engines of Great Britain.
Vol 1 and 2, covering Durham, Scotland, and the rest of the
Northern English counties are already out. Vol 3#'1 on Lancashire
is in the press, and vol3#2 on the rest of Lancashire I am now
editing and will be out later in the summer.
For more details please contact me off list or email
landmark@claranet where you can ask for order details and
leaflets.
Regards
