The term usually refers to large immobile reciprocating engines, principally stationary steam engines [1] and, to some extent, stationary internal combustion engines.

The frame of these engines was a large iron box casting that formed a single piece foundation for both the engine and boiler. Owing to the small height available with this pre-fabricated foundation, the semi-portable engine had no large flywheel, as was standard practice for stationary engines. The need for a more even power delivery, without ...
