"Also in the woodyard, a 1901 Burrell with a small diameter flywheel with extra heavy rim, used locally for dredging."
Please excuse my ignorance but how was this engine used for dredging. Was a winch system driven from the flywheel like the old circular ploughing systems? or was this engine just used for carting the dredged material away?
