Ah, I see. And you're right, it is a brilliant design, and in retrospect I shouldn't have been surprised to see it implemented elsewhere.

Think of a 100 yr old's heart, ~ 876,000 hrs.running!! God's Engineering bowls me over.
I have MUCH greater fascination and respect for Biology than I ever did when I was younger.

Absolutely beautiful, though I have to say this is the first time I've seen a triple-expansion used for an industrial purpose. Is it a retired marine engine?

No, they were purpose built, although they did use some elements of marine practice; turbines apart they were pretty well the ultimate stationery engine design. Triple Expansions were used in a number of places, the Kew Bridge museum has one and I saw one at Hereford some years back.

looks like unlimited torque and mega horsepower

I'm not enough of an engineer to be familiar with these terms, but yes, it was pretty powerful! And there were two of them! I think they pumped water 12 miles to the holding reservoir, and that has to be a lot of water to shift! Incidentally, although built in Britain they were to American designs.
If you Google 'Kempton Great Engines' you should find the site, along with information on the neighbouring race course!

Yes, waterworks tended to like to make their plant last! Some machinery worked for over 100 years.
Thanks for viewing.
