  1. Hi all, I guess as with most new guys, I am here hoping to find out information about my Stationary engine. (well, it belongs to a friend now, but we sort of share it!) The Lister engine is unusual, in that it is a Lister B type, Spec 11 (Specification 11), believed to be the only spec 11 preservation. It was built 30th January 1924, and dispatched to Drake & Fletcher on the 7th February. It seems that D & F became a limited company during the mid 1920's, but my engine has the earlier plate. Above is the plate from the 1924 Lister B Above is a later plate from the sprayer at the paddock wood hop farm (well it was there in 2002) The only surviving D & F parts are the brass plate and also a chain drive sprocket. I have been trying to ascertain which model of sprayer it would have been attached to, if indeed; it was part of a sprayer set. I have included a photo of the lister B, plus few photos from the internet of various types of D & F sprayer sets. My aim it to get an idea of what the original setup for this engine would have been and maybe even 'photo shop' a picture of the single flywheel B on the correct type of machinery. The Lister B 11 The Sprayer at the hop farm, date unknown, but the twin flywheel engine is later than 1925. It is a three piston pump model, with the misitier plate on the back. This one is 1936, with a smaller Lister D engine driving a two piston pump. Again, a more powerful engine, driving a 3 piston pump. My Lister B is 3.5 horsepower, so I expect it would have driver a 3 piston pump, but any information or even possibilities would be appreciated. Thanks for letting me in your group, Simon Taylor
