It was arranged as a beam engine, the cylinder being supplied with water at a head of 170 ft. The water supply incorporated an air cushion close to the engine to prevent damaging water hammer. The valve gear was cam-operated. The description and an illustration are also provided in Douglas Self's fascinating website [2]
