Excerpt from Minutes of Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, 1893, Vol. 112: With Other Selected and Abstracted Papers The mill was formerly worked by a compound beam-engine, made by Messrs. S. Horn and Co., and a smaller engine, by Messrs. Wentworth and Co. The beam-engine was only ten years old, and both were in good order. A report on a trial of this engine is given in Appendix B, and indicator diagrams are shown in Figs. 3 and 4, Plate 2. Messrs. Mead and Son state that, with steam engines, they formerly consumed 4 tons of best Welsh coal in 24 hours, and that, to do the same work with gas-power, they consumed only 30 cwt. Of anthracite, at the same price per ton as steam - coal, the saving being no less than 62 per cent. They consider the governing of gas-engines better than that of steam-engines. The cost of wages and lubrication is about the same as for steam. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
