This dimension groups engines by the year they were introduced. Engine history is often dated with real precision, as when Wikipedia notes that "in 1672, a small-scale steam-powered vehicle was created by Ferdinand Verbiest," decades before the automobile itself existed. Browsing by year places an engine within the wider timeline of transport technology.
