1259 Allchin Heavy Hornsby Machinery Parade Powered Purpose Regn Ruston Single Cylinder Traction 1922
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases two vintage general purpose engines, the Allchin FP 1259 (registration number 2146) and the Ruston Hornsby 115100, proudly displayed together during the 1960s-1970s. Both engines were built to serve heavy farming and transportation needs, embodying the industrial prowess of the era. The Allchin FP 1259, registered with the number 2146, is a testament to the engineering expertise of Wm. Allchin Ltd, constructed in 1922. Powered by a 7 Nhp (Net Horsepower) single-cylinder steam engine, this engine was a workhorse in its prime. Its sleek design and robust construction reflect the dedication of its creators to efficiency and reliability. The Ruston Hornsby 115100, with the registration number Hildary Do 2953, is another marvel of engineering from the same period. Although its origins are not mentioned in the caption, it is evident that it shares the same historical significance as the Allchin FP 1259. Together, these two engines represent a bygone era of heavy machinery, where steam power reigned supreme in the fields and on the roads. The parade of these two engines offers a glimpse into the past, when transportation and farming relied on the might and ingenuity of machines like these. Their presence is a reminder of the progress that has been made in the field of engineering and the role that these pioneering machines played in shaping the agricultural and industrial landscapes of the past century.
