"I am rebuilding a Beam engine, when received the engine was in a dismantled state with no drawings whatsoever. It is 340mm wide x 650mm long x 440mm high (mounted on a base 453mm x 700mm) and will run on compressed air. The problem I have is linkage parts from slide valve (side of cylinder) to drive eccentric are missing, also there is a part with linkage arms on which it looks like some sort of damper system. Does anyone know where I can obtain information and/or advice to overcome these problems? Have attached some photos which hope will show the problem. Look forward to hearing from someone."
