Hi...

I was at an event this summer where I was able to get some pictures of a 
Deutz "Silent Otto" stationary engine that was manufactured in about 
1880.  Take a look at:

to see some pictures of it.  It is owned by Greg Johnson who bought it in 
1985 from the Henry Ford Museum.

A couple of weeks ago there was some discussion regarding Jay Leno's 
recently acquired steam engine and if there is any doubt some of these 
pictures should prove that Jay is truly interested in old machinery and not 
afraid of getting up close and personal with it.
