Newly acquired at auction, this old 1890-1900 Automatic Steam Engine looks like the product of the Atlas Engine Works of Indianapolis, Indiana. There are no markings on the engine to confirm this. The configuration of the governor and the unusual shape of the steam chest cover say it is an Atlas. Atlas Engine Works went into receivership in 1907 and was broken up with the gas engine business moving to San Antonio, Texas becoming the Kruger-Atlas product line of San Antonio Machine and Supply Company. The fate of the steam engine products is not so clear. It is possible this engine is a copy of an Atlas engine. The chain sprocket on the crankshaft opposite the flywheel says Portland Iron Works which could be a clue since the engine is supposed to have come from some mining operation in Oregon. Anyone with catalog information confirming this engine's identity please comment.
