New-built 2-cylinder steam engine for the paddle steamer "Montreux" on Swiss Lake Geneva. The automatic boiler and the hydraulic remote control of the steam engine allows the same staff as on a comparable motor vessel.
Well-made video; I like how it cuts between views of the engine and the side-wheeler from the outside. The wake shows that an impressive amount of power is being developed and all scenes convey how smoothly the machinery operates; nothing looks jerkey.
For paddlewheelers, was the usual design to have two cylinders, double acting?
