Working Parts of the collection

Working Parts of the collection
I wrote down what this was for but I lost my paper, if memory serves me correctly it was a small boat motor for bilge pump that is operated by air. this exhibit is out side of the main museum and run by volunteer's all the parts' in this area work/ turn over as they should. Hence the fence to keep fingers away from all the moving parts.

there are a number of shed that contain these and others it is amazing to see all these part run and run as if they where brand new.

It looks interesting,Steve. My first thought was a single cylinder Liston, but then I read that it is operated by air. HFF and have a good weekend.

The motor is a Sisson it is a single cylinder, it may well be converted to air but I would have thought steam in its day . I have included the link I found to the pump HFF do hope your weekend goes well.

Hi Steve
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice piece of machinery.
I can't identify it, but it looks like some kind of water pump.
Running small machines off compressed air was quite often done in the old days, as it was an easy thing to distribute around a factory.
Best Wishes, (rather late) HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
