  I don't know- but I want one to dig my allotment with!!?

• Jack Falstaff said:

  The infernal machine is a steam excavator, a 'crane navvy' built by John H. Wilson of Liverpool. The 'roof' looks like a contractors' improvisation, not supplied by the manufacturer. [The Liecestershire Record Office have a photo c.1903 of a similar machine, sans roof, in use in the construction of the railway from Wootton Underwood to Haddenham, Buckinghamshire.]

  Jack Falstaff Thank you, Jack! Have added more accurate tags, though was still tempted to tag "infernal machine"...

• Jack Falstaff said:

  National Library of Ireland on The Commons I do hope that you do just that; 'infernal machine'has a lovely ring to it, and 'steam excavator' sounds so prosaic by comparison.
