It is demonstrated powering a stenter machine. The gent thought he had seen a model of the engine and that drawings were commercially available. Does this ring a bell with anyone? If so I'd be pleased to hear as I have the chap's details. Many thanks Diane

I gave the drawings, which incidentally were the very best 'model engineering' drawings I've used, to Jo Thoms. Maybe she still has them? I believe at the time, the father and son team (the name escapes me but it may have been Buckley) who produced them under the Helix name were active members of the Bolton museum. Hope that helps some - Ramon
