EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Ruston Hornsby General Purpose Engine, registration number DO 2953, with the distinctive number 115100 painted on its side. Built in the early 1920s by Ruston and Hornsby Ltd, a renowned engineering firm based in Lincoln and Grantham, England, this heavy agricultural machine is a testament to the industrial prowess of the era. Powered by a single-cylinder steam engine, this engine produced a nominal power output of 7 Nhp. The engine, a marvel of engineering in its time, was capable of providing the necessary power to operate various agricultural implements and other heavy machinery. The photograph was taken in the 1970s, a time when steam power was gradually being replaced by more modern and efficient technologies. Despite this, the Ruston Hornsby General Purpose Engine continued to serve its purpose, its sturdy frame and powerful engine proving to be as reliable as ever. The machine's history is rooted in Hildary, and its presence in this photograph serves as a reminder of the important role that heavy agricultural machinery played in the agricultural industry during the 20th century. The Ruston Hornsby General Purpose Engine, with its impressive engineering and robust design, is a symbol of the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and farmers who operated it. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the agricultural machinery that shaped the rural landscape of the United Kingdom and beyond. The Ruston Hornsby General Purpose Engine, with its powerful steam engine and heavy-duty frame, continues to captivate and inspire, a testament to the enduring legacy of Ruston and Hornsby Ltd.
