South Cerney 2016, Friday
We had a few hours here in the afternoon on our way to stay in London before Weald of Kent.
The report is here: http://www.internationalsteam.co.uk/...kindexsc16.htm I know at least two more engines turned up on Saturday, I have noted this, if there were others please let me know, similarly any errors. |
is the unidentified portable a brown and may?
also what is the flat bit at the bottom of the inside rim of the flywheel? http://www.internationalsteam.co.uk/...erney16052.jpg http://www.internationalsteam.co.uk/...erney16052.jpg |
The baby portable is indeed a Brown & May. I think the flat bit on the bottom of the flywheel is a balance weight. It is opposite the throw of the crank.

Thanks both of you for this. Have now noted this on the appropriate page. I note there are several 19th century examples listed in the TER.
|
I recorded the number from the rear of the cylinder block as 3679. This would put it between 1880 and 1890.
|
Definitely 1880 something, maybe 86 or 88. We had a good chat with Mrs Goddard about the engine. Lovely small portable engine and a complete contrast to the Marshall outside in terms of size. Not sure which one I'd rather have. :)

The B&M for me
