I have recentlty received information that a Sims combined engine was
ordered for Jones Mine-later Townshend's- at Cornelly Isle of Man.
This was for a 50/90" engine ordered to the same patern as the Carn Brea
engine, if this was delivered, it would certainly make it the largest
engine of its type to operate outside the west country, as this is equal to
the largest of its type built.
As anyone come across any other references to this engine, was it actually
supplied, who built it, etc.
