Sugar plantation engine for the Streatham Lodge Estate, Trinidad, ordered by William Lushington Jr. (engine CZ), and engine for J. C. Drewsen, Copenhagen, ordered by Gibson & Tomm of London (engine GG). The drawings were made for Lushington's engine in Jun. 1817 and re-used in Sep. 1821 for Drewsen's engine. Henry Hazleton allocated separate portfolio numbers to the engines despite the fact that they did not have separate drawings; Lushington's was Portfolio 972 and Drewsen's was Portfolio 973. J. C. Drewsen also bought a 20 horse boat engine for land in 1828 [see Portfolio 5/1059].
