About the sound
The sound of Klima engine in operation. The recording was realized in the National Museum of Agriculture and Agricultural-Food Industry in Szreniawa (Poland).
The engine was used for performing agricultural works: pumping water, powering sieving equipment and small mills. The device is mounted on a trolley, as it was transported from one farm to the other. In order to reduce maintenance costs, several farmers used to buy and share one engine, or a wealthier farmer owned it and would rent to his neighbors.
