Blimey – Peter Chadwick’s A-Frame engine (Peter are you in here???) bears more than a passing resemblance to my ‘Norden’ engine. Issue 4371, T&K Lubricator article. Although it appears to be a different size with different slide bar arrangements and flywheel, and a built up table (not cast in one piece), the basic arrangement is the same including the governor under the table.

I have found the pics of the Chadwick engine on teh Northern Mill Engine site:

http://www.nmes.org/

But it doesn’t say anything about the engine or its size etc.

Does anyone know anything about these engines – is it possible Norden’s inspiration was an older product.

Thanks Neil
