Comments:
Nichols and Langworthy manufactured engines in Hope Valley, RI and sold them under the New York Safety Steam Power name. They produced engines in many sizes of which we have three. Two of these engines are commonly refered to as "bottle" engines because of their bottle look from the side. They were fitted with reversing gear when used on steam launches as shown in the prints. The small engine was a gift of Louisa Fay in memory of "Grandfather Steam" Dan Fay. The large engine came from a Westerly, RI granite quarry. This engine was a gift of Charles Arthur Moore III.
