Fig. 63 shows the engine in its complete state, but mounted upon standards instead of upon a solid block of wood. From this diagram the relative disposition of the different parts of which it is composed will be easily recognised.

The amateur who has successfully made this model may safely take in hand a small power engine of the class recently introduced by Messrs. Lucas & Davies; these engines are very suitable for driving a lathe, working a pump or a small circular saw, or other machinery likely to be found in the amateur’s workshop.

The cylinder is of iron, and if the cylinder and guide are bored before the castings are sent out, the engine will be an easy one to put together. The set, including governor and force-pump castings of the No. 1 engine, cylinder 1 1/2-inch diameter and 3-inch stroke, costs 30s.; while the set for the No. 2 size, cylinder 2-inch diameter and 4-inch stroke, costs 50s. The nuts and studs for No. 1 are sold at 12s. 6d., and for No. 2 at 15s. per set. Tubular boilers suitable for these engines, fitted with pressure-gauge and all necessary taps, etc., are supplied by the same firm at £10 10s. and £13 respectively. The finished engines complete with boiler, etc., cost £20 and £25.
