[Steam-engine] Steam Engine Needs Home

[Bob Rhode]

Mike McKnight asked that I post this announcement:
 
Just wanted to put out the word that there is a 24" x
36" St. Louis Iron & Machine Works Corliss engine
available for preservation in Memphis, TN. I have
tried to keep track of this engine for a few years,
thru the different owners the property has had. 
 
It is a really nice engine, darn near mint, and direct
coupled to a generator. It's a double eccentric, 1901
model. Quite a beauty, and am hoping someone will want
to take it off the gentlemen's hands, as it came quite
close to getting scrapped a few weeks ago. If anyone
is interested, drop me a line, and I can elaborate as
much as you wish.
