## Image Caption

A model of a rotary motion steam engine based on those built by James Watt (1736-1819) during the [Industrial Revolution](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Industrial_Revolution/). Harnessing steam power in a wheel made the engines much more versatile than the older vertical piston engines.
