Alexander ◊ 2006-03-22 19:29	It is probably a 6 n.h.p. 10 ton Road Roller with a works number roughly in the region of 10500. So far I haven't found any information on this special engine, but as it is in preservation some better information will turn up.
wrenchhead ◊ 2006-03-22 19:46	What a great piece of machinery!!
wrenchhead ◊ 2006-03-22 19:52	Alexander, could you give me a reference for n.h.p.? Thanks.

Here is a nice link which actually explains how it is measured, or rather, calculated: http://www.nelmes.fsnet.co.uk/paxman/nhp-defn.htm Saves me a lot of typing! I agree with you that it is a great machine. Aveling & Porter had a 2/3 market share for road rollers in those years producing some hundred each year.

Alexander ◊ 2006-11-01 00:09	Found it at last! And my estimation wasn't so bad, only that it is older than I thought: Aveling & Porter 5 n.h.p. 10 ton Type R10 Road Roller 'Maid Marion', Works No. 5590, Reg.No. [CH3282] from 1904.

Alexander ◊ 2008-01-07 13:18	Wonderful! Thanks a lot, Steve!
humungus ◊ 2025-02-24 22:12	Has a "Barnes Bros Southwick Wilts" plaque on the side, so at some point it apparently belonged to Barnes Bros. Steam Roller Works in Southwick: >
