Oops, I think maybe it's a Uni-flow. Big difference, huh?

I don't think is is a multi flow because all that I even ran
had a big
exhaust chest in the center of the cylinder.

These are the 3 big pieces to it. The smaller stuff will
come
later.

The crank / flywheel / rotor assy. Weighs 9 ton.
Yes, that is the rotor and field of a large low speed
generator.
more about this in response to later questions/.

This is the sister engine, one serial # apart. We set this
one up
about 10 years ago.
It's very dark in the powerhouse, so most pics came out too
dark.
But I still wish you had mor pictures of the assembled engine
from the
operating (valve gear) side.

Thanks Scott. I haven't seen any like that, looks like the
slide valve
is built into the bearing housing. What's all that stuff in
the middle
of the flywheel do?

Sure looks heavy!
