Etruria last Saturday

Thanks to the people who run the Gardner Engine Forum for organizing this (free) event, I really enjoyed my visit. It was an excellent choice of venue in all respects. It was also very interesting to be shown round the bone mill whilst it was in steam - it must have been a hideous place to work in 100 years ago with the danger, the smells and the dust.

Why did the stationary engines have wheels?

 

The gas hose is over a metre long, BSS fail.

'cause it won't fit in a rucksack

 

Probably run on compressed air.

So it could cross the road?

It seems to feed from a regulator on a propane bottle.

You appear to have caught me polishing brass, that makes it a very rare picture indeed.  I was shamed in to it ....

This was a great weekend. About 20 narrowboats with Gardner engines were there, organised by the Gardner Engine Forum.
