Did Twain ever write about the specifics of the engines he would have been
familiar with? I seem to remember a mention of a "Corliss" engine, but I
don't know where in the corpus that might have been.

Has anyone done a paper about this (slightly technical-- he was the pilot,
not an engineer...) topic?
