It was acquired in the U.P. of Michigan by the Muskegon Heritage Museum and restored by Allan Dake, Director of the Museum. It is being used in our Heritage Machine Works and run by a Corliss Valve Steam engine which is running the line shaft with 6 other machine tools. The steam engine is run by air driven by a Regenerative Blower.
