I am presently building this model from an article by Gordon Odegard. I did some research and it appears the load was two crank shafts for two single cylinder Hamilton-Corliss steam engines for an electrical power house in the state of Indiana around 1900.
Someone in another forum pointed this out to me.
I did quite a lot of searching for Hamilton-Corliss steam engines. Different versions of Corliss where used quite a lot.

The TIFF photos show the installations quite nicely.
