The subject of the sample application is a steam cylinder used in a Watt engine water pump that once serviced copper mines in the Saxony-Anhalt region of Germany and is situated in Löbejün. The Mansfeld Museum in nearby Hettstedt houses a replica of the engine that contained the cylinder.

The cylinder was cast in 1788 in Glamorganshire, Wales, and later exported to Germany, where it formed part of that country’s first steam-powered pumping engine and was in use until 1848. In 1934, the cylinder was mounted on a pedestal to commemorate Germany’s first use of steam power.
