George H. Corliss - ASME George Corliss, inventor of the Corliss Steam Engine, started as a merchant and entrepreneur before he was an inventor and engineer The right balance of skills helped him seize opportunities to work on steam engines during the Industrial era, and the world has been grateful ever since
Harris-Corliss Steam Engine - ASME The Corliss valve gear made the engine extremely efficient in steam consumption and was the most efficient system for controlling low to medium speed engines This particular engine operated for more than eighty years, having been retired not by age but over concern for stack emissions by the U S Environmental Protection Agency
National Museum of Industrial History restores massive working . . . - ASME The Corliss’ debut weekend officially kicks off on Friday, May 31, with a special tour and presentation at 11 a m with the museum’s historian, Mike Piersa Piersa will detail the restoration process and describe different aspects of the machine’s operation, from its 14-foot diameter flywheel to the governor and gauges on the engine
Reynolds-Corliss Pumping Engine - ASME Driven by a Corliss steam engine, these large city water pumps were installed in Jacksonville's water supply improvement program in 1915, and each pumped 5 million gallons of water a day until 1930 when the first of the electric-driven peripheral pumping stations began operating Steam engine operation was discontinued in 1956
A Jacksonville, Florida Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark - ASME The Corliss engine had a steam consumption of 26 lbs, or 35 per-cent better than the old slide valve units Corliss’ exclucive right to manu-facture engines embodying his pat-ents expired in 1873, after about 24 years of manufacturing By 1878 the world famous Reynolds-Corliss engine went into manufacture at Reliance Works, where Reynolds
Regional Historic The American Society of Mechanical Engineering . . . Corliss Steam Engine Company For eight years he was the right-hand man of George H Corliss and, during that time, made all the drawings for that inventor's numerous patent applications He was the first of Corliss’ chief assis-tants to leave the Corliss Company In 1864, he established the William A Harris Steam Engine Company—also
New England Wireless and Steam Museum - ASME By the 1870s Corliss' Providence Engine Works was among the world's largest and drew to the state a number of other important builders, and Rhode Island became the steam-engine capital of the nation This museum contains the finest collection of Rhode Island engines, including one of the few built at the Corliss Works known to survive
Worthington Horizontal Cross-compound Pumping - ASME Corliss-driven pump, typical of early 20th-century US practice Smaller and cheaper than a triple-expansion vertical engine, the horizontal cross-compound pumping engine, Pump No 2, ran at relatively slow revolutions and was considered the height of engineering from the 1890s to World War I
STEAM ENGINE COLLECTION - ASME George H Corliss, an important contributor to steam engine technology, founded his company in Providence in 1846 Engines that used his patent valve gear were built in large numbers by the Corliss company, and by others, both in the United States and abroad, either under license or in various modified forms once the Corliss patent expired in 1870
5 Top Museums of Technology and Industry - ASME Opened in 2016 on the site of a former steel mill’s electric repair shop, the museum features such machines as a Jacquard loom, a 20-foot tall Nasmyth steam hammer, and a 115-ton Corliss steam engine in the process of being restored to operating condition Western Museum of Mining and Industry (Colorado Springs)
