Interior view of one of the museum buildings at the Coolspring Power Museum showing the neatness of the exhibit.  The OTTO gas engine in the foreground was probably built in the Philadelphia works sometime circa 1910.  OTTO was the trademark following an internal combustion engine built and designed by Otto and Langen in Deutz, Germany, in 1876.
