    A model (of what?)
  • KenjiB_48 said:
    Some sort of pump...?
  • Arlen Breiholz said:
    The pump idea isn't bad. I wonder if it isn't a science lab demonstration apparatus, perhaps comparing two types of pumps or maybe demonstrating the operation of a two cylinder engine of some sort.
  • Ross said:
    Miniature steam engines (complete with fake bricks) are definitely a thing; but I'm wondering whether this is a static museum display rather than a working model.
  • oldoinyo said:
    Perhaps a compound reciprocating steam engine (HP cylinder on L, LP cylinder on R?)
