EASTON & ANDERSON BEAM PUMPING ENGINE

By Julius de Waal

Julius’ design for an Easton & Anderson beam pumping engine installed at Banstead Hospital, Surrey, in 1870. It is a single cylinder, non reversing, balanced beam engine with Myer’s variable expansion slide valves. A build description of another Easton & Anderson engine, a grasshopper beam engine was described on MEWS by Jason Ballamy, based on an original Anthony Mount design, and provides a guide to fabrication of this type of engine.
