Here is an engine that really makes nice
stack music. This is another engine that will lull a
person to sleep. 90 HP Three Ball Klein, owned by Nate
Lillibridge, Voluntown, CT. Nate keeps several engines at
this location. He could have a great engine show all by
himself with the engines he keeps here. |

A head on view
just after it was cranked up.

Here Nate is making
adjustments after starting.

 |
This is a 60 HP De La Vergne "DH"
old style oil engine owned by Nate. Unseen in the
background is Leo Korb, helping start this beautiful
engine. |

Brian Mann of Sicklerville, NJ is shown here
with his 25 HP Alamo. This is the earliest Alamo I have
seen. This engine ran a shingle mill in Wiscasset Maine.
This side of the building is pretty dark, so the photos
came out pretty poor. |
 |
This is Brian's 20 HP Oil City engine. This
is the first time I really looked at a pendulum governor.
Leo Korb explained it to me so I finally have a better
understanding of this simple mechanism. |
 |
Here is a closeup of the governor. (the white
thing that looks like part of the governor is really the
spout of an oil can behind it.) |
 |
The largest gas engine in the collection is
this 485 HP Cooper tandem double acting gas engine, built
by C.& G. Cooper, Mt. Vernon, Ohio in 1913. This
engine ran a pumping station at Medina, Ohio, owned by
the Columbia Gas Co. Here, Roger Kreibel is standing next
to the crankshaft. Roger gave us a great tour of this
engine |
 |
Here are the 11,000 lb. flywheel halves. I
wish I had carried a tape recorder to get all of the
dimensions of this engine. This is a very large project
for a club to take on, but I know they will accomplish it
in a very professional manner. |
