Balkenpumpe

This used a beam to transfer the force to pump water out of the mines in Cornwall.

The first website says:
ährend ein Minenmuseum in Nababeep Informationen über den Kupferboom dieser Region bietet können Sie in Clara eine Schmalspur-Lokomotive sehen, die ehemals das kupferne Gold zum Hafen von Port Nolloth transportierte. Besichtigen Sie die Balkenpumpe aus Cornwall, die seit 1882 in Betrieb ist, und "The Smokestack", ein Kamin, der 1880 von der Kupferfirma Okiep in dem Ort Okiep erbaut wurde.

The second explains the history and operation.

Dampfmaschine Watt'sche Bauart

That's what they call it at Hettstedt - you should see it too...

Find this below the yellow-green specifications panel:

"The first German steam engine was established at the Mansfeld copper mining district near Hettstedt-Burgörner in 1785. It is a single-acting Watt type beam engine... "
