. Bulletin. Science. Figure 8.—Two versions of Ericsson's caloric engine, 1833. The same elements as used in the later engines—compressor, heater, regenerator, and working cylinder—are present in this earlier version of the caloric engine, designed while John Ericsson was in England. Aside from unsolved problems of lubrication, this engine, like others built by Ericsson, was promising so long as actual performance tests were not made.
