EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and power of Clayton & Shuttleworth Road Roller EP 3137 (registration number EP 3137, internal number 46688) as it rolls along a quiet country road in the 1970s. Built in the historic city of Lincoln in 1914 by the renowned Clayton & Shuttleworth engineering company, this heavy agricultural machine is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the past. Powered by a 4 Nhp (Nominal Horsepower) single-cylinder steam engine, this road roller was a common sight on the rural roads of Britain during the early to mid-20th century. The steam engine, with its distinctive hiss and puff of smoke, provided the muscle to compact and smooth the gravel and dirt roads that were the norm before the advent of modern tarmac surfaces. Despite being over half a century old at the time this photograph was taken, the Clayton & Shuttleworth Road Roller EP 3137 still exuded an air of strength and reliability. Its robust design and solid construction were a testament to the durability of the machinery of the era. The machine's large wheels, covered in thick rubber tires, roll smoothly over the uneven terrain, leaving a perfectly compacted surface in their wake. The photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of a bygone era. The rolling countryside, the steam engine hissing and puffing, and the gentle clanking of gears and metal on metal all come together to create a vivid and evocative scene that is both nostalgic and captivating.
