Setting Up A Line Shaft For The Stationary Engine..

Line shafts - also known as main shafts - are a way to move power to where you want it. Famously, in the linen mills of Victorian England, hundreds of looms were powered by a single steam engine - via line shafts. Some of the longest were half a mile long, or sometimes they were connected vertically through different storeys of a mill building. Mine is only 13' long - so far!

The engine is a 1940s Bamford SD3 single-cylinder diesel.
