Paddle Steamer Waverley. Engines running 8 past the "E" 16th October 2011.

An unusual view of the PS Waverleys engines not normally seen by her passengers. This short clip was taken by one of the ER crew members as the Waverley headed home up the river Clyde to Glasgow for the last time in 2011. The regulating valve was open as far as it would go which is 8 past the E.
Triple expansion steam engine, 2,100 indicated horse power (1,566kW) built by Rankin & Blackmore, Eagle Foundry, Greenock 1946. Cylinders, 24″, 39″ and 62″, Length of Stroke 66". Engine number 520.

What does 8 past the E mean?

These engines are similar to the Titanic‘s engine

[@stephenwilson5043]

Yes though the Titanic’s were of course much larger and mounted vertically rather than diagonally. The Waverley’s steering setup is also similar to the Titanic’s she uses a Brown’s Patent telemotor just as Titanic did to send messages to her quadrant steam steering engine and Chadburn mechanical telegraphs to send engine orders from the bridge to the engine room.

Although they used the same principle in function but in design they are very different from each other
