Otto and Pump on Location 

The Otto engine and Deane pump at the Brookville Water Works in an undated photo.  The flat belt drove a centrifugal pump that brought water from North Fork Creek into the facility for treatment.  The Deane pump then delivered the treated water to Brookville's reservoir.
Pouring the Base Mat 

The museum's Power Technology Building was selected as the location for the engine and pump.  After excavating a pit in the building, our concrete contractor poured the foundation mat for the engine and pump.
