The tall vertical chimney, finished in a brickwork motif, rises from the rear of the firebox, while the front-mounted cylinder and drive assembly translate steam pressure into rotary motion via the spoked flywheel. Included are the original-style spirit burner and a small funnel, used for fueling and water filling, completing the functional set.
