Smaller than the early type No.4, I have a vague memory that the 7A was originally made as a No.7 in this form - no doubt one of our Stuart experts will let me know.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Whilst the No.1 design has remained largely unchanged since it was launched at the end of the nineteenth century, later engine designs adopted a cast trunk guide, making it easier for the tyro to machine, but looking nothing like as elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Quite rare we see this design nowadays - we had the mortal remains of a similar, although slightly bigger No.4 earlier in the year (\u003ca href=\"\/products\/vintage-stuart-turner-no.4-for-restoration-stock-code-8072\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003epictures in the archive here\u003c\/a\u003e), but most of the Stuart vertical engines we've had in over the years have been of the later type with cast trunk guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    A beautifully made engine, silky smooth to turn over, standard of machining good throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54010048250197,"sku":"8333","price":350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/8333-1.webp?v=1779900097","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/vintage-stuart-turner-vertical-engine-stock-code-8333","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
