This worked at Bagg's Brewery, Kings Lynn, probably from the 1840s until the brewery was closed in 1930. The cylinder is about 8" bore by 18" stroke. The parallel motion is unusual and it is possible the curved brackets to support the single column were later, strengthening, additions. The displacement lubricator is a nice touch.

The Museum is due to re-open in 2012.
