Next form of haulage at Cwmdu Colliery was the installation of a small winch in October 1934. The steam to drive this winch was provided by a vertical boiler, 8 feet high and 5 feet in diameter. A small engine house had been constructed from round bush poles, roofed with galvanised corrugated iron, and it had a concrete floor ... The Cwmdu Colliery syndicate had planned to replace its early vertical boiler with the horizontal boiler to give the mine an increased flow of steam power. 2, record 3, English, - vertical%20boiler
