Where the Backhead of the boiler sits in relation to the rear of the horn plates, The drawing gives 2x measurements - the top of the horn plate has dimensions of 50mm and 55mm - adding up to 105mm, and down the bottom the dimensions are 110mm.

Has anyone come across this before? and can anyone give me the correct measurement for this.

Does anyone know if this boilerplate would pass Certification?? Or does anyone have a list of contacts who can supply the boilerplate quoted in the updated drawing? I have tried around, and ...

Due to the extreme cost, and lack of general availability of suitably copper these days, the option of a copper boiler is not really viable, leaving us with the option of a steel briggs style boiler. Several plans for briggs boilers of a suitable size are available, however most are hand-drawn, and leave some critical ...

I am intrested in building a traction engine in the near future, until then I want to start to collect some materials for construction. To do so I need plans so I know what materials to collect. My question is where do I get plans/drawings for the Cliff & Bunting 3" scale traction engine?

I was trying to find info on the C&B and found this site.
I have had a set of planes for the C&B for a few years and thought it was about time I started building.
Are the CAD plans available yet.
