Description
...did some digifiddling with this old (1908) Curtiss four-cylinder engine and liked the result enough to share it here:)
What is it? Factsheet for those who'd like to know a little more.

I love this! What a cool bit of machinery. Nice postwork! I love the symmetry/not symmetry, with the pipes and rockers and wires. Just right!

Nice shot and great symetry Bill.

That's an interesting shot, and engine! Looks to be made of bronze but possibly you might have fiddled with the colors too.

Hmmm.... fiddling with that - I wonder what kind of music it makes? Quite an interesting construction. And quite unique, as such most likely don't exist. The choice of metals is interesting, as are their colors. The rods and rockers remind me of a marine diesel I once saw on a large passenger liner. I'm trying to figure out where you've been "playing the fiddle" on this - my guess is on the 4 pipes (can one play the fiddle on pipes?). They seem a bit angular. Thanks for the comments and suggestions on my last post. As for people photos, that would be difficult considering I can't turn off the flash. But I can go in and take some photos of the architecture, though I believe the ball room is locked when not in use. Keep up the good work! :-)

I don't care what it is, I LOVE it!!

They don't make em like they used too really applies here. You can't even se an engine these days for all the electric brain boxes, pipes and wires whatever they are fitted too. A real work of art Bill :)

Beautiful engine, shot and PW!
kenmo
Great photo of this antique engine....

i have to admit that my technical knowledge tends to be of the photographic type and there it stops. However i can appreciate the sense of designthat goes into producing such complex pieces as this and with this in mind this is superb

Interesting postwork applied to this image of the old copperplate engine, Bill.
RodS
Oh, that's supercool, Bill! The engine is great by itself, and topping it off with your great postwork makes it worthy of a wall at the Nelson! Love this!
