The Golden Point stamper battery in New Zealand's south island is the only battery where the stamps still work in their original location, driven by the original source of power. The 100-plus years old Tangye type AA oil engine is fired up for a special run, watched by visitors from a modern mine nearby and by pupils from a local school. But the purpose of the run is really diagnostic: Department of Conservation staff want to assess the condition of the engine and the stamps to decide on possible restoration work. Meanwhile, the run is spectacular, both visually and aurally !
