Dixie Steam: This is a 2 hour DVD features the last CORLISS steam engine working in a sugar mill, the last corliss in a syrup mill, last corliss steam powered mine hoist in a salt mine, includes a short mine tour, 2 sawmills powered by corliss engines, 2 sawmills powered by large slide valve engines, including one with rope drive and lots more. Videoed in 1990 before most of these engines were discarded in the south.
Stationary Steam Engines in Operation, Volume 2: See Stationary steam engines operating in their industrial settings from corliss to uniflow to slide valve engines. Shown are a Murray Iron Works Corliss engine, an Allis Chalmers Corliss, a Skinner Unaflow running a saw mill, a Vilter Corliss, 8 large Nordberg and Worthington engines operating one plant or more. 90 minutes of running steam engines. These are probably all gone by now, but we managed to video them back in the 1990s.
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)
