Coventry Shed: lnwrcov667
An unidentified ex-LNWR 0-8-0 7F 'Super D' locomotive is
seen standing cold inside of Coventry's new shed on a Sunday. The class were
inside cylindered engines and the two 'spigots' seen on the front and under the
smokebox door were covers to the piston rods that were designed to hold the
pistons parallel within the cylinder. This design feature was once common is
the early twentieth century but died out as more accurate machining negated the
necessity of the design.
