First, the Ridley half-beam, built (more or less) to plans published in AME

Tel,

Interesting beam engine. Never seen a half-beam before. And I still marvel at that Double Diagonal. That was a nice built.

You have built a couple of real fine engines in these 2 examples. Building from a photograph makes it even harder and ensures that you understand exactly what happens and why. It is much different than building to a good plan. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing them with us. :ddb: :ddb:

Cheers  :beer:

Hi Tel

Visited Manchester (UK) Muisium of Science and Industery Yesterday with the sole purpose to take some pics of a grahopper engine.



It looks a lot like that half beam

They also had an imverted twin V like the other engine, sorry but I didn't take a pic of that.

Thanks
for showing

Stew

Thanks blokes, it keeps me off the streets.

Stew, I suspect that the engine you mention is this one, if so, that's the pic I built the engine from
