Proprietor Richard Nevill

1891 [[ Eagle Tin-Plate Works‎]] at Neath .... massive compound condensing engines, made by Messrs Richard Nevill and Co., Limited, Wern Iron Works, Llanelly. The large crank shaft and ponderous 40-ton fly wheel immediately arrest attention. The engines have cylinders of 26 and 46 inches diameters respectively, with a stroke of 4 feet. They are arranged to work at a steam pressure of 100lbs on the square inch, while the distribution of steam is automatically controlled by the governor. The ease with which the engines started testify to the excellence of the workmanship and the appropriateness of the design, while the enconiums of the management, "very satisfactory," seem in every way well merited.'
