Steam Driven Fairground Rides
In the late 1800's and early 1900's steam was king here in England, trains , trucks and tractors all used it as a source of power. Even in the early 1950's, some fairground operators still used steam road tractors to drive their rides but by now the engines were driving large dynamos which powered both rides and lights.
