Photograph Notes: This college closed in 1995 and engineer officer training is now undertaken at HMS Sultan, Gosport. As far as I know this lovely test engine was scrapped. It was an inverted vertical compound (enclosed) engine built in c1917 by Browett, Lindley & Co. Ltd., Patricroft as No. 2361. The cylinders were 9" and 13.5" bore by 8.5" stroke and it was rated at 88 indicated horsepower. It was direct coupled to a water brake dynamometer and has condensing plant (seen in the background). It was installed here second-hand in 1963 and used regularly until about 1970. It was still workable and was run up for our visit. Steam can be seen wisping from the lagging on top of the cylinders. This building was full of lovely kit and I foolishly stuck to photographing the engine. There were also turbines and a boiler along with internal combustion engine test cells. I seem to recall there was a Y100 steam turbine on display also.
