BROTHERHOOD ENGINE AND WESTMINSTER DYNAMO.
The Brotherhood three-cylinder engine, which is illustrated driving a Westminster dynamo on page 893, contains some novel features. The principal object in view in its design was to arrange that all the working parts should be open to view, and it was also thought desirable to prevent the exhaust passing through the central chamber, so as to avoid any lubricant being carried over with exhaust steam in cases in which the engine is coupled to a condenser. The valve motion is quite open, as will be seen, and the other working parts can be inspected whilst the engine is running by simply removing the side of the central chamber. The engine illustrated has cylinders 3 in. in diameter by 4 in. stroke, and the Westminster dynamo connected to it has under full load an output of 50 amperes at 80 volts, when running at 650 revolutions per minute. The maker of the engine described is Mr. Peter Brotherhood, of Belvedere-road, Westminster Bridge, London, S.E. |
