The Bolton -Bertinat -Bailey Triple expansion engine

Hello Willy,
I think it is nickel silver. In German "Neusilber".
The manufacturer with this stamp made dishes from this material. As a substitute for real silver.
It contains nickel and a few other metals.
The supports look good. I like your craftsmanship. With old tools.

The trade name was Alpacca.

Thanks Michael and I am doing more research on this .................. I have been milling more dimensions on the condenser and slowly getting to the point where I need to start bolting all the parts together !!   I notice that the trade name is  Alpaca ? I thought this was an animal that has a special type of very fine wool !!I have around off some of that plate and it has got some patches of rust on it ..

Cheers
Willy

so, all the crosshead guides are now in place and I will be machining the base before I can bolt them all together ..

Thanks Roger , and I have milled the base and temporarily put all the parts together to see how they fit ..I have a piece of 1.25" square steel as a guide to keep everything in place prior to drilling ..
