EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Robey General Purpose Engine Number 42675, manufactured by Robey & Co of Lincoln in 1927. This engine, with its distinctive red body and black details, is a fine example of the company's craftsmanship during the interwar period. With a single cylinder and a nominal horsepower (NHP) of 6, this engine was not the most powerful, but its versatility and reliability made it a popular choice for various applications. The engine, registration number JU 8198, was captured in the 1970s-1980s, long after its initial construction. Its age, however, did not diminish its charm or functionality. The image reveals the engine's simplicity and robustness, with its flywheel, piston, and connecting rod all visible. The engine's placement on a wooden platform, surrounded by greenery, adds to its picturesque appeal. Robey & Co of Lincoln was a renowned British engineering company that produced a wide range of stationary engines, including general-purpose engines like this one. The company's engines were known for their durability and adaptability, making them a staple in various industries and rural communities. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Robey & Co and their commitment to engineering excellence.
