Cross Rectilinear engine - stock code 5566

A finely made model of the Cross Rectilinear engine by Anthony Mount, mounted on a wooden base. Supplied new by Bruce Engineering it has been run occasionally on air and remains in as-new condition. It goes well, the motionwork mesmeric if a little disconcerting to watch - you sit there convinced that at some stage the die blocks are going to collide.

Currently residing in my office, it seems everybody who walks in has a twiddle with it to see what happens when you turn the flywheel.

Height 11 1/2 inches
Flywheel 5 1/2 inches
Base 7 x 10 inches
