Best Answer

Steam engines and steam pumps performed and still perform any jobs presently performed by internal combustion engines, or electric motors. Except aircraft engines, (they and the necessary boilers are too heavy to fly). Locomotives, pumping, generating electricity, automobiles, industrial machinery...etc..
