Martin,
Excellent pics as always - I hope you're not holding any back for the competition ;-)
The Bradford you have shown is probably from an Avon Power saw.

thats the one, I knew it had something to do with perfume.

Martin, Thanks for the photos.
That Lister / Hamworthy set is interesting. Do any of the panel know, did Hamworthy use Lister engines after giving up on their own, or is the Lister a replacement?

Generally Hamworthy used Lister engines and Reavell used Petters but there are of course exceptions. Later on Hamworthy hung pretty much the same compressor off a CS. There is a nice example of such at Internal Fire and it will no doubt be running at the End of Season do on 9/10. hth Roland
Funny this topic should come up.....I've now got two Hamworthy sets which are Lister Engined - I believe they did a range of sizes with the appropriate engine from the Lister range to suit. Pics at:
Then to cap it all off - I have just fetched (this evening funnily enough, and found purely by chance in the back of a very dingy shed) a Hamworthy two stroke, combined engine and compressor set (pics as above in their own album - apologies for the quality, it was very dark!). It is missing some bits and I was going to enquire if anyone has any information or parts on these two-stroke sets? I have only seen one other petrol two stroke Hamworthy at the 1000 engine, and thankfully I took plenty of photos - I believe my engine to be similar, but knowing my luck not the same...

Hi Arthur, I think the hamworthy set is original. Theres an identical one still in situ at the millmeece pumping station. Regards, Gary M
