This single-cylinder horizontal steam engine was used at the Hereford Sanitary Laundry where it provided the power, via an overhead lay shaft and belts, for many different processes.
It carries a large pulley wheel, with gracefully curved spokes, on the flywheel shaft, which would have been the power take-off for flat belting.
The engine was rescued from a local scrapyard but unfortunately is incomplete so cannot be run.
Its governor and auto cut-off mechanism are displayed in the Tangye House adjacent.
