Any idea on sizes?
There is a marvellous set of magazines 1961-63 edited by Bill Durham, eventually published as a book by Howell North books of California called "Steamboats and Modern Steam Launches" ISBN 0-8310-7100-2.
The twin has unusual crosshead slides, and the single appears to have had the base modified (piece cut off)? Great engines - any history of where they were used? |

The single still runs good on compressed air, was last in a launch on eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay ! No info on the twin.
