Dated January 1889, this blueprint details the dimensions for steam and exhaust connections for an engine system. It includes precise technical drawings of the steam and exhaust configurations when mounted on different foundations, such as solid ground and concrete beds. The document was likely used by engineers and machinists to ensure accurate installation and compatibility of steam-powered machinery. Latimer may have owned these blueprints for work he did on assignment for the Edison company.Collection
