EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the vintage charm of John Fowler & Co.'s General Purpose Engine 8282, affectionately named Berkswell. Manufactured in Leeds in 1899, this engineering marvel was a product of the esteemed John Fowler & Co. and falls under the category of a single cylinder, 8 nhp (nominal horsepower) engine. Despite being built over a century ago, Berkswell's intricate design and robust construction are evident in this image. The engine, registered under the number AC 9321, belongs to the B4 class. Its timeless appeal is further accentuated by its presence in the 1970s-1980s, a period when such engines were increasingly being replaced by more modern machinery. The engine's nameplate, clearly visible in the photograph, adds a personal touch to this historic piece of machinery. Berkswell's story is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the past. It serves as a reminder of a bygone era when engines like these played a crucial role in various industries and daily life. This photograph, captured in the 1970s-1980s, offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a unique perspective on engineering history.
