Westinghouse engines are fascinating because of their age, and they were made before builders settled on designs that worked for traction engines. Henry Ford went to work as a technician for Westinghouse in 1882 while he was a teenager. That experience had to have been a large influence as he entered the automobile manufacturing world. Many Thanks, Merle, for spotting!

We had a Westinghouse steam engine powered sawmill on the farm. I remember the logo on the firebox door. I used it about 40 years ago to cut up a couple of cypress logs for materials to build a pole barn. It was sold not long after that.
