This appears to be an amateur photograph printed on a postcard format. It is dated 17/8/35 on the reverse, and the rig identified as owned by James Penfold Ltd. of Arundel, a well known local operator at the time. The Engine is said to be a Burrell 3201 threshing engine of 10 tons, with a single crank compound steam engine, registration BP5919.

The rig is parked opposite the George and Dragon - hot work operating such machines! The building to the right is Houghton House, occupied earlier in the century by Jose Weiss, artist and glider pioneer.
