Thread: Sanderson Beam Engine
05/05/2019 00:44:30
•This research started with my purchase of the Peter Ware Model Sanderson Beam Engine.
•It was easy to find 30 or more similar models on the web, but I did not find any similar full size engines.
•The research proceeded backwards from my model to the present day retailer and to the original model designer H. Clarkson & Son which was made from the 1840s plate.

The , Osnabrück Museum is now researching how what we call the Sanderson Beam engine ended up in Germany.

You'll notice small differences between the German and UK engine. It is said that the original model was from a plate in Blackies publication “The Engineer and Machinist's Assistant”, 1840s. H. Clarkson & Son had designed their model after Plate XVII in volume 2

I just bought a very nice Sanderson Beam engine of Peter Wares grandson on eBay. I posted a video on YouTube at

I also bought the planes from Blackgates.

I have done extensive research on the background of the Sanderson Beam engine. and have several links that might be of interest. There is a version of the full size engine in Germany Museum Industriekultur Osnabrück and another Model from a German model maker von Lothar Matrian. There are pictures of Eckart Kerchers models as well.

One original UK full size engine was at the Frerichs Wadsworth, Springfield Mental Hospital.

Ther german full size is know as J. Frerichs & Co.: Dampfmaschine
