Given that there is no external timing mechanism visible on this machine, either it's missing or this is actually a compressor. The presence of a flywheel and a belt wheel tends to make me think it's a steam engine, yet the lack of valve timing gear makes me think it's a compressor. Your call.
This engine is much smaller that its partner in this park, having a flywheel of only about three feet in diameter. Unfortunately the name plate was on the far side of the engine. As a result I was unsuccessful in my attempts at getting a shot of it.
Type of Machine: Steam Engine/Air Compressor
Year the machine was built: UNK
Year the machine was put on display: ca 1995
Is there online documentation for this machine: Not listed
