An excellent show of vintage machinery, thanks to Rex Curtis for assembling a fine collection. John Boyling's Floether portable was a brilliant restoration and absolutely steam tight. Not a bubble of water from any of the 13 inspection doors (more than I have seen on any other engine). When I walked by it was belted up to the ex Howard Blackwell, Maynard chaff cutter you can see in front of it. The other unusual exhibit was the little laboratory stone crusher that Adrian Menear's Mac was driving, and demonstrating dust making! You can just see it in the above photo.
