Awesome feat of industrial revolution engineering set in beautiful countryside.
Crofton Beam Engines的点评
点评：In the beautiful countryside along the Avon and Kennet canal, sits the awesome 200 + year old Croften beam engine still performing the job it was created for, pumping water into the summit of the canal as it makes its way via locks up and over the hills. Even if you're not interested in the awsome innovation of this invention, you have to come here to appreciate the power of these amazing steam powered pumps. On steaming days you enter the boiler room where coal is shovelled in, you can also marval at the engineering magnificence of other steam engines from the same era, invented for various uses. Then you go up a floor where the awesome beams are housed, as the 6 ton (1812) or 4.5 ton (1846) beam travels up and down, the power of these things is palpable. The top floor reveals more workings, and the piston housings are something to behold. The ground floor where the deep well was dug reveals the true power of the pump, water gushes in huge volumes, and when you go outside you get a picture of the power of these things. All along your journey are the knowledgable volenteers imparting their knowledge of this incredible feat of industrial engineering. All set along the canal and later railway in the most beautiful countryside where you can grab a cuppa and cake and enjoy the scenery. The whole day was fascinating from start to finish and well worth the visit., loved every minute.
翻译：在埃文河和肯尼特运河沿岸美丽的乡村中，停放着拥有 200 多年历史的 Croften 横梁式蒸汽机，它依然履行着最初的使命，将水泵送到运河的上游，然后水会通过水闸越过山丘。即使您对这项发明的惊人创新不感兴趣，您也应该来这里欣赏一下这些神奇的蒸汽泵的威力。在热气腾腾的日子里，您可以进入铲煤的锅炉房，同时惊叹于同一时代为各种用途而发明的其他蒸汽机的工程设计之精妙。然后您上到一层，那里安置着这些令人敬畏的横梁，随着 6 吨（1812 年）或 4.5 吨（1846 年）的横梁上下移动，这些机器的威力显而易见。顶层展示了更多的工作原理，活塞壳非常值得一看。一楼深井的挖掘处展现了水泵的真正威力，水量浩瀚，当你走到外面时，就能感受到这些设备的威力。一路上，知识渊博的志愿者们会向你传授这项令人惊叹的工业工程壮举的知识。一切都沿着运河和铁路展开，置身于最美丽的乡村，你可以在那里享用一杯茶和一块蛋糕，欣赏美景。从头到尾，这一整天都令人着迷，绝对值得一游。每一分钟都令人爱不释手。
