This engine was made by engineer James Watt and entrepreneur Matthew Boulton in Birmingham, England. It was installed in Whitbread's London brewery in 1785 and was used there for 102 years, turning a large wheel that ground malt.

The engine is located in the Sydney Science and Technology Museum http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/, see map below.
