Antiques Roadshow

If you've got iplayer have a look at antiques roadshow about 15 to 20 minutes in and prepare to drool !

Brian

Just seen it live - and drooled!

Saw it too. Amazing! I want it! Hell I'd settle for the little tool kit.

Looked at it on iPlayer.... I want it ... ... did you catch his evaluation... !

George.

So do you have to kill the rest of us to tell us what it is ?

John

You will just have to download the thing and then scroll through the 20 ish min. like the rest of us. Come on - Easter Monday - what else is there to do!

Norman

Loads to do.

Just been to the local Lidl and cleared them out of impact wrenches, now back out to the next nearest store to clear them out.........................

BTW they make ace power drawbars for Bridgys as they have a limiting torque for the tightening cycle.

I would suggest that the engine is a Tangye twin steam engine.

Martin P

He seems to have been given it for free as well.

Which series and episode ?

We have Antique Roadshow in Australia and I checked the latest episode that was released here and did not find anything. We may not have your latest show yet.

Paul

Hi Paul, it was 27th March, series 38:20.

Brian

We might see it in a couple of years if ever.

Please can someone explain what the "it " referred to above actually is?

It is a superb model made in the 1930's of a steam driven workshop. It was on display in a museum or some sort of institution to show health and safety aspects, ie no guards on belts etc.

When it was no longer needed it was given to the gentleman who took it on Antiques Roadshow.

I was very lucky to get the opportunity to examine it personally about a year ago when he displayed it at our annual Bradford MES exhibition.

These photo's are from our club website, I don't know who actually took them.

I was even luckier to win that big trophy in the background for my part finished flywheel for the Pollit & Wigzell Corliss mill engine I am building called "Agnes"

(PLUG) If you live anywhere in the West Yorkshire area you could do a lot worse than joining our club, we have a very diverse range of interests

It an early 20thC model of a mid 19thC machine shop containing a lathe, shaper, drill, grinder etc, all working from overhead belting driven by a working steam engine.

Engine seems as Martin P says to be a Tangye with a single governor and power take off rather than the twin governors on th eReeves kit.
