It's started with compressed air and then a few seconds into the video, it's switched to propane and you can hear it firing.

I went there the other yr for a tractor show, those engines are awesome! It amazes me that these engines ran whole factories and mills. I think it's cool that some of them were made local in philly, built and used for 100 yrs within a short distance. Not shipped in from across the country or world; was a totally different time then. I'm glad you guys are preserving them, good work!
