Corliss steam engine

[NW Mailing List]

There are several, three I can think of, in North Carolina, or there were, I haven't checked lately. The furniture plants liked them. Cal Reynolds.

  There's also a Corliss engine operating a sawmill in Somerset, Va.

    Denton Farm Park has a operating steam 350HP Bates Corliss engine (among 
    other steam equipment). Wasn't able to find a image of it on the web. 
    The engine operates over July 4 holiday during the "Southeast Old 
    Threshers' Reunion". This is a single cylinder engine with around 18' 
    flywheels if I remember correctly. An impressive machine.

    Many consider Denton to be the largest antique farm equipment show east 
    of the Mississippi.
