| A visitor learning about the 1888-built stationary steam winding engine from a guide |
 |
| The horizonal engine ..... |
 |
| ..... drives the drum for the cage rope ..... |
 |
| ,,,, using two double acting single expansion cylinders |
 |
| Showing the two brake shoes on one side of the drum |
 |
| Showing the drop links of the reverser & governor |
 |
| The engine was built in 1888 by the Grange Iron Co of Durham City & when installed in 1903 at F Pit each cylinder was fitted with Grange Iron Co's patent valve gear, each with 4 cylinders. (If anyone knows more about this valve gear, please let us know via a comment.) |
