These engines are made either simple, compound or triple-expansion, with either one or two cranks. The cranks are ofsteel and the bearings of phosphor-bronze. The crank-cham-ber is closed, as shown in the engravings, and forms a recepta-cle for the lubricant, in which the crank revolves, as is usualin this class of engines. The engines are made under the pat-ents of Messrs. Beaumont and Wellington by the Blair Engi-neering Company, Bellenden-road, Peckham
