In 1867 Pierre Hugon of
Paris, France, was awarded a U.S. Patent for an internal combustion, standing
engine,his “gas engine”. The engine measured 1.6 X 2.3 X 1.1 meters and weighed
over 1000kg. This model is based on photos of engines made by licensee Edward Casper in London, England displayed in the Science
Museum, London, and the Anson Engine Museum, Poynton, Cheshire.

I like machines, especially machines from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth centuries. It’s fun to find out how they work learn about their history. This project depicts a Singer treadle powered sewing machine made from the 1890s to the 1920s. Many of these Singer machines were extravagantly decorated filigree, floral designs. (I’ve been deliberately more modest with this model.) The Singer Manufacturing Company was founded in New York City by Isaac Singer and Edward Clark in 1851. Both domestic and international demand for the machines was so great that the company opened a factory in Glasgow, Scotland in 1867 that grew eventually to become the largest sewing machine producer in the world.
