This page lists many, if not most, of Davey Paxman's Vertical Heavy-Fuel-Oil engines and Heavy Duty Diesels built in the late 1920s and during the 1930s. (For the history of the development of these types, and technical details, see the pages Heavy-Fuel-Oil Engines and Heavy Duty Diesel Engines.) Also included are some of Paxman's first Vee form engines, the VRA and VRB, introduced in 1936 and 1937 respectively.
The details of nearly 500 engines are of interest for the picture they give of the range of engines produced by the Company at that time, their applications, who they were sold to and Paxman's export markets. In addition they will be of interest to those seeking information about surviving engines from this era.
The listing is based on a photocopy of a document originally printed from microfilm in Paxman's Service Department. The references to certain films which appear on the original documents have been retained in case one day a researcher might find them useful but for most purposes they can be ignored.
The listing here follows the order of the original, and many details have been added from old Paxman order books and other sources. Whilst considerable care has been taken in trying to preserve accuracy in the transcription of the information, your attention is drawn to the website's Disclaimer of liability. Notification of any errors or additional details would be appreciated.
Against each Contract (Order) Number is shown the engine type and the name of the agent and/or customer. The engine number is also shown where we have been able to confirm this from copies of old order books. The available books only cover orders received up to the end of September 1934. Where no engine number is shown it can usually be calculated by adding 6030 to the Contract Number, except where the latter starts with a 5. Where a date (generally in dd-mm-yy format) is shown in the Agent/Customer column, this refers to the date of despatch from Colchester unless indicated otherwise. Where dates are shown for two or more engines, these are for the relevant engines in order number sequence.
If the orders numbers shown on this page are put in sequence, it will be found that very many are missing. The explanation is quite simple. At this stage of the Company's history, oil engines were by no means Paxman's main product. Steam boilers, such as the Economic, and ammonia compressors were being manufactured in large numbers, not to mentioned other items like paint mills. Order numbers were allocated in sequence regardless of the type of product.
In the Customer/Notes column there are many references to AGE and Noyes Brothers. AGE refers to Agricultural & General Engineers, the combine to which Paxman belonged from 1920 until AGE failed in 1932 when the Courts declared it bankrupt. Noyes Brothers of Sydney were the major agents for Paxman engines in Australia during the AGE era.

The MZ and MZS were marine versions of the 6½" bore x 10" stroke VZ engine. They appear to have been built mostly in 1933/34, and fitted with Bosch-CAV fuel pumps. Four installations were in Halcyon Class Minesweepers, HMS Halcyon, HMS Skipjack, HMS Harrier and Hussar. A 3MZ of this period had a rating of 60/66 bhp at 750 rpm. A 3MZS (i.e. with fabricated crankcase) was rated at 80 bhp at 800 rpm continuous, 88 bhp for one hour, and weighed 40¼ cwts.

Initially fitted in "British Coast" but later in "Atlantic Coast" (see 18273). 18084 was placed in abeyance and replaced by 18178. The instructions were to hold it for fitting aboard a later Coast Lines vessel but there is no evidence this was done. There is no 'Date Sent' against 18084 in the order book and the engine may not have been built. |
