Prototype Rose Engine
Rigged to test on my workbench.

This photograph was taken after the first testing of the prototype Rose Engine.   It was built as much as possible with available and inexpensive materials since I had never seen one operate.   It worked but needed some improvements.

Following you will find some photographs and notes as I fabricate the completely redesigned new and improved Rose Engine and Ornamental Lathe II.
