This peaked my interest so I too started to google Cyrus Chambers. He was quite the inventor.
He built machines we never think of because they've been around all our lives. The steam engine
is mentioned several times but no pictures. He built it at the age of 16, P.T. Barnum tried to
buy it for $1000.00.
Google him, interesting reading.

Thanks Gregowen, for showing us some history of steam.
