Machines and engines

Sunflower

I've always loved machines and engines. 

I like a bit of nostalgia too. 

Here's a 1962 Twin Tub in action - I spent many happy hours in the company of a machine just like this as a child!

Have you got a favourite machine or engine?

  • The film I'm all.right Jack has some brilliant fictitious production line macinery in it.

    And rhe starting credits of the film Mousehunt is beautiful in the photography of the string production macinery.

    For anyone interested in spinning and weaving mavhinery, a visit to Styal Mill in Cheshire is fascinating, the sight of those weaving machines in action is a real.thing of beauty if a little loud.

    One of my fascinations for steam locomotives is the action of the rods.and pistons and the rhythmic sound of the steam.combined with that wonderful smell.  So much better than a diesel.or electric machine!
