I have been a subscriber to Iron Men Album for several years now
and thoroughly enjoy the magazine. I just recently purchased this
50 HP T.M. Nagle stationary steam engine made in Erie, PA., during
the early 1920’s (photos enclosed for better look, showing size
could give me any information on the company that made the engine.
This engine has a 10′ x 16′ cylinder, a Gardner #3 governor
(made in Quincy, Ill.), and 60′ x 14′ and 37′ x 10′
flywheels. Were instruction manuals ever published, and did the
company have any advertising literature for the engines it made?
Also, what were the dates that the company was in operation for the
production of stationary steam engine?
Thank you for any information you can supply.
