Snippet #1334017

Having done the paperwork regarding the nearly destroyed elevator Giacomo returned to the Marchfield laboratories to continue his work on the improved steam engine. Which at the moment was nothing more than a confusing contraption of metal parts. It had been like that for a long time already and even the inventor himself was worried whether it it would ever see completion, but it seemed like today was a good day as just as he arrived the first of the seven massive 1.2 meter high pistons arrived ready to be placed inside his cilinder.

His ingenius idea to have dual powered strokes( power on both the up and down stroke) would give the engine more horsepower than any engine before. He walked to the blueprints to see which of the seven cilinders was the lucky one to recieve the first piston, since they were all just a bit difrent due to their postiton on the crankshaft they all had be placed in the correct piston or he might end up with more bend and twisted metal. It was piston three that was the first to recieve the piston. He gathered a few of the other scientists currently on site and told them what to do, since he needed a few more hands and eyes to manuever and install the piston.

The installation of the piston went as smooth as Giacomo hoped it would, though it had taken them over a hour to place the thing there hadn't been a single hitch and the scientists were dismissed. Just as he wanted to get a break he sees another delivery being made: A few butterfly valves, pressure gauges, pressure release valves and one-way valves were its content, though a small delivery compared to the piston it was something he had waited longer for this as for the piston. Wilst he began installing the newly brought parts he realised that he had been avoiding Promethues a lot lately and he expected him to barge into the room any second to get informed about the happenings that Giacomo had encountered after their last conversation.
