Group of Men in Front of Corliss Steam Engine, circa 1910
01
Artifact Overview
American engineer George Henry Corliss patented the Corliss engine in 1849. Existing stationary steam engines were less efficient - and, therefore, more expensive - than those powered by water. Corliss's improved engine was highly efficient and enabled industries to develop anywhere. This photograph shows a group of men on a large Corliss steam engine around 1910.
