Mill Engine
michaelr:
Living only twenty miles or so from Silloth Cumbria the home of Carrs flour mill I didn't know about the Mill's museum, being there today for a vintage rally I spotted the signs for the museum so had a visit.
It made my day seeing the persevered mill engine although it's not in steam it is working, next time I will take my video cam.

crueby:
Very good looking engine. Appears to be a cam operated valve system of some sort?
michaelr:
Yes I missed out this picture of the cam shaft.
Mike.
crueby:
Very interesting! That would make an interesting variant on the usual eccentric on the crankshaft to model.
We need to send Julius there with a tape measure and a laptop...!
b.lindsey:
Wow, that is quite a beast of an engine. Thanks for sharing the pictures MIke!!
