Ca.1895 40 H.P. Hamilton Corliss Steam Engine Restoration Project
Presently under restoration/conservation: The Hooven Owens- Rentschler 40 H.P. (Hamilton) Corliss Steam Engine, Hamilton, Ohio was on exhibition at the 1893 Columbian Exhibition. It then was presented to the University Of Maine where it powered the Dynamo Laboratory and was used as a training engine. It was removed from the laboratory in 1966. With its 8 foot dia. flywheel the engine is one of the finest examples of a small Corliss engine. This engine has the rare factory appointment of the "fancy grade" finish. The engine is being restored in memory of the late Francis Coughlin. We are very interested in obtaining any written material or steam gauges by this famous American maker. We are also interested in corresponding with other Hamilton Corliss engine owners.This engine is being restored by Delores Allen and Charles Chiarchiaro.
