View of the actual Allis-Chalmers Steam Engines used at the CWD - Division Avenue Water Plant in 1916.  The plant is known today as the Garrett A. Morgan Water Treatment Plant.  These three-story engines were eventually replaced by electric motor driven pumps of the type that are still used today.  The modern high capacity pumps are a fraction of the size.
