For the Commissioners of the Navy. Pumping engine, Prince of Wales Island, East Indies. Engine Order Book No. 5 notes that this engine was made up from parts of two engines ('w' and 'x') originally ordered by Bough Hollingsworth & Dyson. However the Small Engine Book says that this engine was the complete second one made for Bough Hollingsworth & Dyson. This engine book and The List of Engines made at Soho list one 6 horse engine being sent, so it would appear that the drawing showing a plan for two engines was not adopted.
