Weekend Steam: Burrell Single Crank Compound, 4" Model


 Merle, this is a new concept for me. We have seen tandem compounds with both pistons on the same rod, and cross compounds with the cylinders having their separate cranks, but I have never seen a single crank compound with parallel cylinders before. Both the high and low pressure cylinders are connected to the same crosshead. I think that American manufacturers never made an engine like this one.  Many Thanks, Merle!
