Hello Frank,
What a nice looking engine. Can you give us its history and some details ?

I was rather hoping someone could tell me about it, it was alleged built by one A.B. Rapley. possibly a small version of a full sized ship engine? the bores are HP1.5 inch MP2.3 inch LP3.7inch, it is currently undergoing a total rebuild. Frank.
