Found this on ebay, I have plans for this engine in a book somewhere. Got the book from plough book sales.

Stuart Sirius engine and Stuart centrifugal pump. They still sell castings for the Sirius but I don't think they sell castings for the pump anymore (it's no on their website, anyway). I should say that the engine has the shape and size of the Sirius, but some details seem to be very different from the plans - the bevel gears aren't normally exposed and the drive for the piston valve is usually through a flat hooplike structrure, so if this is from Sirius castings someone has been taking liberties with the original design (or the Sirius is a later version of this engine, perhaps).
