Hi Cris, this engine was built by Thomas F Rowland ,Continental Works Greenpoint Brooklyn in 1881/2 In the writeup it says there are but two steam chests, the exhaust valve is inside the inlet valve, I shall get a copy of the full writeup later..............
Hi Chris, this is the explanation of the engine...........hope you can read it
H i Chris, The spanners came from one of the stalls at this years Doncaster show but i did not take a note of who they were ,perhaps somebody else knows who went there, The ring spanner ends are really good at holding nuts and bolts in awkward places !! There are numerous Nickel Silver suppliers here in Blighty and if you type it in you should find somewhere in the states. It is quite a large industry and there are sites selling it for jewellery and other small end users...The lombard is looking really good, will post more stuff soon.
