EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases two iconic steam-powered engines, the Fowell General Purpose Engine AH 5456 (registration number 103, Cromwell) and the Garrett General Purpose Engine - Lucy, in a serene rural setting. Both engines, built in the early 20th century, are remnants of a bygone era in farming technology. The Fowell General Purpose Engine, manufactured by Fowell & Co. at St. Ives in 1913, is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the past. Powered by an 8 Nhp (Nominal Horsepower) single-cylinder steam engine, this engine was a versatile workhorse, capable of performing various tasks on the farm. Its sleek design and meticulously crafted components are a feast for the eyes, with the engine's number 103 proudly displayed on its side. In the background, the Garrett General Purpose Engine - Lucy, with its distinctive red paint job, adds a pop of color to the scene. Though the exact build date is unknown, it is clear that this engine shares a similar history and purpose with its Fowell counterpart. Both engines represent a time when steam power was the driving force behind heavy farm machinery and the backbone of agricultural productivity. The 1970s-1980s were a unique period for these engines, as they were preserved and cherished by enthusiasts who recognized their historical significance. This photograph captures the essence of that era, with the two engines standing proudly side by side, a testament to the enduring appeal of steam-powered machinery.
