A stationary engine is an engine whose framework does not move. They are used to drive immobile equipment, such as pumps, generators, mills or factory machinery, or cable cars. The term usually refers to large immobile reciprocating engines, principally stationary steam engines [1] and, to some extent, stationary internal combustion engines.
The success to come with stationary steam engines was in no small part based on the experiences with the short-lived railway locomotive production: the locomotives had boilers rated for 50 pounds per square inch (3.4 bar), compared to the normal stationary engine boiler rating at that time of 5 or 10 psi (0.34 or 0.69 bar).

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 ...

In 1857 he first lists himself as a ‘news agent & ship modeller’. Only when he moved to 22 Aldgate in 1865 did he cease his news agency to focus on ship models alone. Three years later, in 1868, he finally expanded into ‘steam engines and all the separate parts’. It was only then that ‘Stevens Model Dockyard’ was fully established.
