The engines and boilers for Warrior were built by Penn's Engineering Works at Greenwich. The two pistons drive the shaft through massive cranks - with each piston moving backwards and forwards a distance of some 2 feet. The cylinders are very large - and had to be because of the low steam pressure delivered by the boilers. The low pressure and the large size of the cylinders made the engines very inefficient.
