Stationary engines. (B. Goodfellow and Co).
Between 1901 and 1903 Benjamin Goodfellow carried out major work on the four File:James Watt & Co Beam Engines at File:Crossness Pumping Station. Originally 125hp single cylinder beam engines, these engines were tripled by replacing the original 48" diameter cylinder with a new 44" which became the Low Pressure, together with a new 33" IP cylinder alongside it (as in a Woolf compound), with the new 19" High pressure cylinder in tandem with it below floor level. All cylinders were fitted with Corliss valves.
