1905 Bates Latching Corliss 12x36

Here we have our second Bates Corliss engine.  This Bates is a heavy base latching corliss. Our other is a light weight non latching engine. This engine was purchased from a sawmill in Windsor North Carolina. The mill has been closed for decades. This is the most complete Corliss in our collection. It has a 10 foot 2 piece flywheel.
