Happy memories there for me - I used to be a Production Engineer at John G Kincaid and Co Ltd - who had Burmeister and Wain , and Sulzer licences. We used to build some monsters. The biggest I remember being involved in was a B&W 11 cylinder K90. (900mm piston diameter). From memory it had a rating of 36000 HP PER CYLINDER = just short of 400,000 hp at 90 RPM. This was installed in a tanker called the World Score.

ha so you had a white coat then,, being an Engineer

( played with industrial RB211s when I was offshore.. A single set could deliver 33,000 BHP shaft power ( base ) and would most likely fit into one of those cylinders ( 9000 rpm hp spool 5000rpm mp spool speeds )

we could change one out in 24hrs dont ask

I guess these days the only thing we make in the UK is tea

call that a lathe as an apprentice I visited Wesso in Darlington.. there was a guy sitting a strange thing like a tank with a huge pointy thing sticking out the front... it was the tool stock for the 'lathe' that ran the lenth of the building !!!

all gone now .. think its a theme park no sorry that Beamish

forgot to say my coat has long sleeves that tie at the back

off to make tea
