The compound engine shown in Fig. 3 is built by Charles Burrell & Sons, of Thetford. A dynamo is mounted on the smoke-box end of the boiler, for illumination at night. The engine is mounted on springs, which secure a great saving in wear and tear of the working parts. An awning covers the tender and some of the working parts of the engine, and a rail is fixed round the coalbunker in order to increase the fuel capacity. The water lifter and hose are attached to the fore tank as shown. It is very evident that a good appearance has been aimed at with the best results. This firm has probably built a larger number of types of road engines than any other maker, and not one of these types has fallen short of success. |
