A Browett, Lindley inverted vertical compound (enclosed) engine driving a dynamo. This is in the room next door to the huge twin tandem compound mill engine. It is a now unique survivor of a "pilot engine" as it would have been used to light the mill when the main engine was stopped. Look out for this in the textile mill engine gallery.
