Yes, this Engine is a total mystery to us. It is hand cranked, has two sets of ratchets and pawls, some gearing, and various other levers and pieces that move in mysterious ways and directions. I couldn't even guess what this machine's purpose was. Given the theme of the museum, the mining heyday of Greenwood, when everyone in town depended either on nearby mines or the town's smelter for employment, it was likely intended to serve a related purpose.
Type of Machine: Brainbuster
Year the machine was built: ca 1900
Is there online documentation for this machine: [Web Link]
Year the machine was put on display: Not listed
