- Available records give the date of the order and hence there is uncertainty over the number of engines actually completed in the period.

- This engine is illustrated in G. Watkins, The Textile Mill Engine, vol II (Newton Abbot 1971), p1.50. The photograph shows that the builders' plate is in fact dated 1919 and the engine was presumably not installed until that year.
