This is the top end of the economiser by E Green & Son Ltd. The tubes are scraped clean of soot by self-reversing scraper gear driven by belt from the small horizontal single cylinder steam engine on top. The Engineerium was in steam for the last time for a couple of years while major works are undertaken. This top class museum was closed and may have been lost to the public but a major benefactor purchased it at the last minute.
