Hi Tony: Probably not of any help, but, I tried a quick search of my records...
Steam Whim: First reference that I can locate is from the Royal Cornwall Gazette: Saturday 15th April 1815, when Trevenen Mine advertised two for sale – Stream Whim 16-in. Double and Steam Whim 12-in. without Boiler.
Steam Winder: First reference that I can locate is from the Royal Cornwall Gazette: Friday 9th May 1845, when advertised for sale from Ninnis, near Helston.
Can’t find anything on your third enquiry Tony
Hope the above maybe of some use - If you need the full artilce/s email me off-line.
Kindest regards Chris Kelland
