This is correct. The one-time existence of this frame has come to light sin=
ce the rediscovery of the Liverpool frame. There was also a frame with som=
e cast iron trusses at Bretforton in Worcestershire, dating from 1823. We d=
on't know all that much about either of these frames, as both have now gone

The Liverpool frame may not be the earliest ever made, but it's quality of =
designstill makes it quite remarkable - very cleverly engineered and constr=
ucted

st
