STATIONARY STEAM ENGINES IN OPERATION, VOLUME 1: A collection of seven companies that were still running stationary steam engines. A Skinner Unaflow engine generates electric power in northern Wisconsin, an Erie slide valve engine runs a large blower in Chicago, a Vilter corliss engine driven ammonia compressor is started after being repaired, at a meat packing plant. The largest operating power plant in the US (has 9 large engines) is shown, with Chuse non release corliss engines, a tiny Nagle corliss, Laidlaw Dunn Gordon slide valve pumping engines, and Skinner vertical Uniflow engines in operation. An 1895 Harris corliss is seen powering the line shafting at an Atlanta millwork company and a Skinner high speed automatic cutoff engine powers an Atlanta planning mill. Last, a Skinner high speed automatic cutoff engine generates electricity in New York at a ladder plant where the boilers are "hand bombed" with coal. These are not museum engines, but working, cluttered power plants. (1 hour 30 minutes) DVD only.
