EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph showcases the Ruston Proctor SH class General Purpose Engine, registration number BE 7421, affectionately known as the Tulip Queen. Built in the early 1900s by Ruston and Hornsby Ltd, a renowned engineering company based in Lincoln and Grantham, England, this engine was a testament to the industrial prowess of the time. Powered by an 8 Nhp (Nominal Horsepower) single-cylinder steam engine, the Tulip Queen was a versatile machine, capable of providing traction for various heavy farming applications. The engine's distinctive design and robust construction were hallmarks of Ruston and Hornsby's engineering excellence. The Tulip Queen, numbered 44836, was captured in the 1960s to 1970s, a period when steam-powered machinery was gradually being replaced by more modern, diesel-powered engines. Despite this, the Tulip Queen continued to serve faithfully, its steam engine humming and hissing as it provided the necessary power for farming operations. The Tulip Queen's story is a reminder of the vital role that steam-powered engines played in the agricultural industry, particularly during the early to mid-20th century. This photograph is a tribute to the engineering ingenuity and the relentless work ethic of the farmers who operated these magnificent machines." Mary Evans Picture Library is proud to offer this rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into a time when steam power reigned supreme in the world of heavy farming machinery. This photograph is not only a valuable historical record, but also a testament to the enduring appeal of the industrial revolution and the machines that shaped it.
