Reeves "Commander" vertical twin

A quantity of castings for a Reeves "Commander", the largest stationary engine in the Reeves catalogue. Rarely seen, we've never had a complete one on its own - the only example in the Archive was fitted to a steam launch we had through back in 2019.

Castings include:

  • Base plate
  • Main columns
  • Main bearings & caps
  • Cylinder block & covers, valve chests & covers
  • Eccentric straps
  • Flywheel
  • Crossheads
  • Reverser quadrant
  • Thrust block housing
  • Feed pump body & gland
  • Set of drawings

This one has come to use from the family of the late owner. The castings have been labelled and cross-referenced to the list of parts available from Reeves. It comprises a largely complete set, weighing in at over a hundredweight - many of the smaller missing parts could be machined from stock material.
