Title: Bolton No. 7 Horizontal Mill Engine
Post by: J.L. on December 24, 2018, 02:17:52 AM
The plans for the Bolton No.7 engine were drawn by O.B. Bolton in 1946. The kit is available from E. & J. Winter models. A set of constructors notes were written in 1992 by Ernest Winter.
It is capable of providing 3/4 horsepower at 100 psi boiler pressure.

This model is air driven at 30 psi. The cylinder bore is 1 1/2" and the stroke is 2 1/4".

This is a classic , slow running horizontal slide valve engine of merit.

Thank you both.

Looking back at the construction shots of the engine brings back fond memories of its construction.
