Another view of the steam powered portable engine with the
Midland Railway's Birmingham to Leicester line in the background. This view
clearly shows how the portable engine provided mechanical power to other
equipment through the use of belts and pulleys. In the absence of gearboxes the
speed required by the ancillary equipment was attained by a combination of the
speed of the cylinder and the diameter of pulley used.
