An old cutaway engraving of a Baxter’s small portable engine of It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. The exhaust gases exited via the flue (right). American William Baxter Snr (1822–1884) described himself as a ‘consulting engineer’ and was a well-known designer of portable steam engines, including this successful coal-fired steam model marketed as the ‘Baxter Engine’ by his Baxter Steam Engine Company.
