Framed Print of That which makes the wheels go round': a large engine in an Indian jute-factory, 1909. Creator: Unknown
The Modern Mechanical Hercules: How We Harness Steam - That which makes the wheels go round': a large engine in an Indian jute-factory, 1909. NOT the least impressive feature or a visit to a cotton-mill is the engine house, where is generated the power which gives life and motion to every machine, spindle, and loom in the factory. Especially impressive is the great fly-wheel, which, through its series of fifty or more revolving ropes, transmits the power of the steam-engine itself to different parts of the mill. Such a fly-wheel may be twenty-eight feet in diameter, and weighing some sixty tons, revolving fifty-five times a minute under the impetus of the engine's 2000 horse-power. It is this fly-wheel which, to use a colloquialism, makes the wheels go round of every machine in the factory. [This] engine, built by the firm of John and Edward Wood, of Victoria Foundry, Bolton, ] is a Corliss compound of 2000-i.h.p, with cylinders of 32 and 62 inches...The fly-wheel is...grooved for 46 ropes...Every engine made by the firm carries Messrs. Wood's guarantee. The number of hands employed is about 500'. From Illustrated London News, 1909. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
