Working model, (scale 1:10) of a 240 H.P. beam engine by Benjamin Hick, Bolton, 1840. This model was shown at the Great Exhibition of 1851.
This is one of the finest models in the Motive Power collection, demonstrating the degree to which engineering had advanced by 1840, and the cultural factors which influenced machine design - in this case, Egyptian styling, including a chronometric governor with the wings of a scarab beetle. The model comprises two large, short-stroke low pressure cylinders driving a common flywheel, with the governor mounted in between and a large, finely decorated entablature supporting the beams.
