Hubble Telescope PDA Instrument

This is Hubble's flight spare PDA instrument. It would have been used in the telephoto lens'. This PDA can detect individual photons of visible and ultraviolet light and magnify them by 100,000 times to reveal the finest of cosmic light sources. After 12 years aboard Hubble, the camera was returned to Earth aboard the Shuttle in 2002.

Vertical Compound Engine 1898

 This model is based on steam engines supplied in 1898 to the Landon Electric Supply Co. for their City Road substation. Each engine was connected by ropes to a dynamo to generate electricity. This type of engine was eventually replaced by more efficient steam turbines.

Willans High Speed Steam Engine 1901

This is working model, built in 1891, of a compounded engine developed by Peter Willans in 1884. The Engine itself had important new qualities. It could run quietly and at high speeds. Connected to a Crompton dynamo, it was widely used to generate electricity.

Robey Drop Valve Engine

The drop valve steam engine was one of the most efficient reciprocating engines designs. It was developed in England, Robey of Lincoln became one of its principal markers. The model represents a full size engine built by Robey, and was made by one Robey's working foremen

Willans Triple Expansion Engine C 1887

Willans central valve engines were mainly used in early electricity generating station. This one was build according to pete willans’s  patent of 1884 and he used it as experimental engine. It is full size and cut open so you can see how it worked. Engines like these were later replaced by steam turbines.

Roberts Lathe C-1816
The Roberts machine is an early example of a lathe with a 'slide rest' - a tool holder which could slide along the lathe bed to produce an accurate longitudinal cut in the workpiece without the heavy physical effort that was previously require.





Richard Roberts was a highly inventive engineer who worked in London with Henry Maudslay, the finest machine builder of the day, before starting his own business in Manchester. The lathe shown here is typical of Roberts' thoughtful approach to machine construction and is designed for turning shafts and similar components. Its remarkable solidity ensured accuracy under load.

Roberts was noted for his ability to solve mechanical problems, especially in the filed of textile machinery. He invented a power-driven loom and his form built a wide range of machine tool and also pioneered standard gauges. Unfortunately, the man described as 'one of the true pioneer of modern mechanical mechanism' lacked business sense, and he died in poverty.
