A table engine is a variety of stationary steam engine where the cylinder is placed on top of a table shaped base, the legs of which stand on the baseplate which locates the crankshaft bearings. The piston rod protrudes from the top of the cylinder and has fixed to it a cross head which runs in slides attached to, and rising from, the cylinder top. Long rods connect the crosshead to the crankshaft, on which is fixed the flywheel. This pattern engine was first introduced by James Sadler balloonist James Sadler in the Portsmouth Block Mills and was house built engine house built in that its framing was formed by the engine house , as had been common practice for beam engine s. Henry Maudslay patented an improved version of this a few years later, and other makers adopted the configuration.

Engine Arm map The Engine Arm or Birmingham Feeder Arm near Smethwick , West Midlands county West Midlands , England , is a short canal built by Thomas Telford in 1825 to carry water from Rotton Park Reservoir now called Edgbaston Reservoir to the Old Main Line of the BCN Main Line Canal. The nearby Smethwick Engine 1779 was built to pump water from below the six canal lock lock s Smethwick flight at the eastern end of the Smethwick Summit back to the summit level. Another engine at the western end reclaimed water from use at the Spon Lane locks. In the 1780s, a cutting was constructed by John Smeaton , enabling three of the six locks on each side of the Smethwick Summit to be removed. When, in the 1820s, Thomas Telford cut his deeper, straighter New Main Line of the Birmingham Canal it ran close to the existing James Brindley and John Smeaton Old Main Line near Smethwick Summit. The Engine Arm was built to bring water from Rotton Park Reservoir and also to connect the Smethwick Engine, which was used to pump water from the Birmingham Level of the canal to the Smethwick Summit Wolverhampton Level of the Old Main Line. The Engine Arm was made navigable in 1830 between the Smethwick Summit of the Old Main Line canal and Engine Arm Basin, just beyond the Smethwick Engine a few hundred metres away so that boats could carry coal to the engine.
