Bradford Industrial Museum - steam generator set.
A W Sisson of Gloucester inverted vertical tandem compound (enclosed) engine running at 600 rpm and direct coupled to an alternator rated at 20 kVA and built by the Lancashire Dynamo & Motor Company. The belt drives a Westinghouse DC generator to excite the alternator field. The engine was supplied to a tannery near Oxenhope in 1945 and was acquired by the museum in 1971. Just on the right edge of the picture is part of a Lumb governor with Lumb's regulator.
