Really cool to see this running. What would this type of engine been used for?

[@Nyquilxsprite]

Turning stuff or something probably idk

This exact engine pumped water from a river in the summer and cut fire wood with a saw in the winter :)

That small barrel shaped inner wheel is used to drive a belt, which you can use to run lots of different types of machinery.
