A fact from Pinchbeck Engine appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 October 2009. The text of the entry was as follows:

Wheel delivery
[edit]There is something wrong with the quoted figures for delivery. Presumably, it was 7,500 gals over some time period. My guess is 7,500 gals per minute, but Hinde quotes 65 tons per minute, which works out at about 14,000 gals per minute. Bob1960evens (talk) 18:48, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
Butterley Company
[edit]The engine is described as having been built by the Butterley Company in Leeds. The Butterley Company link directs one to a page which staes that the Butterley Company was based in Ripley, Derbyshire. Is the Leeds link an error or did the Butterley Company have a subsidiary factory in Leeds?Tina Cordon (talk) 21:10, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
