Caption

The International Exhibition: Ransome and Sims' ten-horse power engine with Biddell and Balk's boiler, showing the method of withdrawing the tubes, 1862. Steam engine '...filled with Biddell and Balk's patent boiler, which is so constructed that the firebox and tubes may be removed, cleaned, and replaced; or a new set substituted for the old ones without returning the engine to the factory...Amongst the great changes which have marked the progress of British agriculture during the last twenty years, scarcely one is more remarkable than the readiness with which agriculturists have adopted the uses of machinery...In this trade the name which stands out most prominently, perhaps, through a course of consecutive years, is that of Ransome'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
