The Reliable Walking Beam engine is characteristic of the earliest steam engines. It may be used for either marine or stationary purposes, and will run either forward or reverse. This is accomplished by turning the flywheel 1/2 turn in the desired direction. This engine is robust and special attention has been given in the design to give castings of a picturesque appearance.

The casting kit contains thirty pieces and weighs about 127 lbs. The finished engine weighs 118 lbs.

* All plans are "shipped" electronically, as PDF files. If you do not have a PDF reader (software to let you look at, even print, a PDF) you can go to adobe.com (never use a PDF reader that wasn't made by adobe, the inventors of PDF), or click here: the One True Adobe PDF Reader - Download.

(Personally, we would turn off their "free offers" prior to clicking the download button [those are for non-Adobe products], but that's your call.)

BTW: "PDF" stands for Portable Document Format. It's just a secure way (the secure way, actually) to move documents around electronically.

HP (in this context) means Horse Power. (Of course you know that; just being thorough.) It's a unit of power equal to 550 foot-pounds per second or 735.5 (or 746 -- believe it not, opinions vary) watts, and is the usual measure of the amount of work an engine can do.

Oddly enough, not that closely related to the amount of work a Horse can do! (Go figure.)
See Does one horsepower really equal the power of one horse? (at www.carkeys.co.uk) for more information on that subject.
