Courtesy of Mr. L. K. Wood, Mendon, Utah This picture was taken
at the threshing bee held at my farm which was enjoyed by thousands
of interested spectators, representing several states and walks of
life. From left to right are: Leo Johnson, principal of Logan High;
Prof. Everett Thrope, fine arts department at Utah State
University; Mr. Wood; Guy N. Cardon, manager of The Bluebird and
past president Cache Chamber of Commerce and Bishop Fred Sorensen
of Mendon, who was assisting with the Bee.

We had the 7 original engines: Case, Gaar Scott, Russell 6,
Russell 10, Russell 13, Minneapolis and Reeves. Also, 4 original
separators and 12 precision scale models that I’ve built and
had on display.

Courtesy of Walter N. Huff, 3302 Sharon Ave., Cincinnati 41,
Ohio This is a self-propelling engine made by Buckeye Co., Toledo,
Ohio. Not made for hauling heavy loads for long distances, plowing
or such. Has winch for hoisting, sheave for running machinery with
rope drive, reciprocating crank for sawing wood with drag saw or
pumping water with piston pump. 6×6 engine with Stevenson link for
reversing. Two geared speeds to traction wheels. Chain drive. About
seven horse-power boiler. Is available for reunions. Commonly
called a ‘donkey engine.’

About 1905 I fired a Gaar-Scott 18 HP return flue, and since
have never seen a picture of one or can find any old timer that
knows about it.

I wonder if someone could tell me if it is true that Huber only
built six of the double engines, both working on the one crank pin
on the crank disc? I saw one in Osceola, Iowa and a friend told me
he fired one in North Dakota. On both the upright engine was
disconnected as they reportedly couldn’t set valves so they
would syncronize. Would be grateful for a word on this.

The owner is at left at the front wheel, Mr. Ernst Broch. The
man on the engine is his son John Broch. The man at the drive wheel
is Robert Schultz. Mr. Jim Repetto is at the, water tank, Mac
Maclian is on the cylinder house.

The others I do not know. Mr. Broch had other engines later, all
of which were Peerless.
