Gamble's Factory, steam engine
Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 15 Dec 1980
This was a real discovery when it crawled out of the woodwork in 1980. It's an 1873 Hick, Hargreaves Corliss engine with Spencer Inglis double clip trip gear. It's also a rare UK example of a single eccentric Corliss (enough technical stuff!). Anyway, it's now on display at Forncett Industrial Steam Museum in Norfolk.
