Wearing Parts for Portable Engines

For the benefit of owners and restorers, this page reproduces descriptions of wearing parts for Paxman portable steam engines offered by the Company in its publication number 683, dated September 1913. The illustrations in the original publication were designed solely for identification purposes and are not engineering drawings. They do however give an idea of what each part looks like.

An image (in GIF format) of each illustration page can be viewed by clicking on the relevant underlined illustration number at the start of each section below. Initially the graphic may display in your browser in reduced size. In Internet Explorer click on the image to expand it to its full size.

There are two methods of downloading/saving one of these images to your hard drive: EITHER right click on the relevant underlined illustration number on this page, then select 'Save Target As...'
