I have recently started assembly on the current edition of Stationary Power
(journal of the International Stationary Steam Engine Society).
The lead article discusses Crofton Pumping Station, the Cornish Influence
and James Sims. The paper describes how Crofton's machinery was altered
during the middle of the Nineteenth Century and how a Sims combined
cylinders engine was installed.
It seems reasonable to include, if possible, a portrait of James Sims if I
can locate one.
Can anyone on this list say if they have ever seen such or point me in the
right direction please?
