A short film showing the driver's platform of the Bull engine at Kew Bridge Steam Museum, as the engine is started, run and stopped. This engine is the only working example of a Bull type Cornish pumping engine in the World, and one of only four known examples surviving. The engine was manufactured and installed by the celebrated engine makers Harveys of Hayle, and has a seventy inch diameter bore and a stroke of about ten feet, with the cylinder positioned directly over the pump.
And here's another video of the same Bull Cornish Engine. Click the pic for the link to YouTube.

That is a lot of work on the part of the engineer before the engine really warms up.
I took particular notice of the lower moving arm that seems perfectly located to deliver a vasectomy, or a knockout blow to the chin.
Maybe both at the same time.
