Engines

The umbrella grouping for vehicle propulsion engines across every transport mode this atlas tracks, sitting one level above the four mode-specific engine subcategories that already carry the detailed working scope: Automotive Engines, Aircraft Engines, Locomotive Engines and Marine Engines. Belongs here, at this coarse level: the category node itself and any future mode-specific engine subcategory this atlas adds; individual named engines are never minted directly under this node. Does not belong here: any specific named engine or engine family, which always belongs to whichever of the four existing subcategories matches its vehicle mode -- an engine entity minted directly under Engines rather than under, for example, Automotive Engines or Marine Engines, is filed one level too high.

Improving on the design of the 1712 Newcomen steam engine, the Watt steam engine, developed sporadically from 1763 to 1775, was a great step in the development of the steam engine.
