A large, well-built compound launch engine fitted with Stephenson's reversing gear.

Fitted with a balanced crank, mechanical lubricator and high capacity oil pots for the main bearings, we suspect that the engine has been fitted in a boat at some stage in its past.

Turns over freely and runs on air, the engine weighs in at around half a hundredweight.
