ever seen one of these?

My grandfather gave me this 2 years ago. Its from Germany. My mom's side of the family is german. He got this when he was a kid and he gave it to me. Its a steam machine. WHat you do is, put water in that tank and put the little burner under it and when it build up enought pressure the wheel starts turning. And a couple years back my granfather bought that little grinder to go with it. Its really cool. Any one ever seen one or have one?
