Terry, Alan, et al,
        That would be the "M.E." Beam engine, originally designed by George
Gentry (ca.1914) and later serialized in ME by Harry Taylor IIRC, not the
"Stuart" beam engine.  As far as I know the Stuart Beam only has one error
which is that as-drawn the governor flyballs foul the flywheel and must be
moved a short distance forward (toward the cylinder.)  I reported this
error to (the new) Stuarts a few years ago and they were unaware of the
problem but I don't know whether anything was done about it.

Regards,
Harry
