The steam team
It took a lot of effort to fix up this 1911, 75-25 Case steam engine, but with the late
Warner (foreground) and Bill Andrews' combined talents, the historical showpiece
was displayed at the Thresher Reunion each year. Warner had the knowledge
about the old machine while son, Bill, had the mechanical skills to do the fixing up.
