1932 Wallis & Steevens 1nhp 3 ton Simplicity Roller - Christopher
Works No. 8023 - Reg. No. CG 571
This type of roller was designed for export to the colonies for use by unskilled workers. This example is the last of its type to be built. The inclined boiler was a safety feature to prevent exposing the firebox crown due to low water level. Originally hired out by Wallis & Steevens.
