User keywords, or 'tags', are words added to object records by other users to enhance their discovery. You can add keywords that may be useful in helping others find this object.

We are experimenting with tagging because sometimes museums describe objects in language that is highly specialist and user added keywords are useful in bridging the 'semantic gap' between the language of the museum and that of the user.

Any keywords listed have been added by other users like yourself. You can click on them to use them as search terms to dicover other objects. User tags
Here you can find links to other objects in our collection that belong to the same formal classification categories as the object you are viewing. Similar objects

'Autogenerated tags' are a new feature that we are testing. These tags are generated by passing the object record through the OpenCalais service from Reuters. This service makes a 'best guess' at the names, places, companies and specialist terminolgy that is in the text of the object records.

By clicking on a tag you can find all other collection records related to that person, place or company.

Because the tags are autogenerated there are likely to be some errors. If you spot one of these then please flag the tag for deletion by clicking the 'x'. Auto-generated tags: [Beta]

Description
Working model of a steam engine with 2 single-acting vertical cylinders, metal, made by 17 year old worker at sugar mill (McAuley and Sons), Chatsworth Island, NSW, Australia, 1881-1882.

The model was built in 1881-1882 by Mr J. Mankey, when he was employed at the sugar mill of John McAuley & Sons, Chatsworth Island, Clarence River, NSW. He started work when he was 17 years old and it took approx 12 months of his spare time. It was built of odds and ends found about the mill, including ridgecap bolts; the flywheel was part of a worn out cornsheller.
Made: 1881 - 1882
