DISPLACEMENT LUBRICATOR
-
Lubicator for Loco No. 461 by Vincent’s Photo Album No.1, on FlickrCamera : Nikon F100 with 24-85 mm lens
Film : Delta 400 Developed in ID11
Photo : Printed on MGIV Fibre and then scanned.I’m not in any way mech’ minded but what does it do?
What is it attached to? What’s it’s function?I’m not that well up in mechanics myself, but I can tell you that I took this photo in a steam loco which was up in my local railway station. The lubricator works by steam entering the chamber, cooling and sinking to the bottom. This in turn raises the level of the oil which is then carried through pipes to lubricator moving parts of the engine. This is very much a laymans explaination which is about the extent of my knowledge on the subject. For further information I would suggest that you Google the term.
Cheers Tex!
I’m just looking at the wording on the meter reading ‘British Detroit’I’m going to have to look this one up!

Nice capture and I expect well controlled exposure. I liket the mono treatment too.
Very nice alright. Perfect image for mono, possibly a perfect image for HDR too.
