Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Aveling & Porter as a firm are justly famed for their steam road rollers,the basic design continuing in production for 50 years,and whilst other manufacturers made rollers,some in high numbers,it is the Aveling with which the public identify as the humble road making steam engine which came down every road and street,until superseded by modern technology. Thomas Aveling,a farmer interested in engineering, started an agricultural machinery repair shop in 1850 in Rochester,Kent. Aveling experimented with traction engine and agricultural machinery design throughout the 1850s,and set up an iron foundry and engineering firm also in Rochester.Aveling also had workshops at Strood,Kent,on which at a later date the famous Invicta Works were built.The emblem of Kent is the 'rampant' horse,and every engine from the factory had this emblem plus the word 'Invicta' below,which is the latin word for 'unconquered'. In 1862 Richard Porter brought capital and his name to the firm which from then on became Aveling & Porter Ltd.Aveling & Porter besides their famous steam rollers made ploughing engines,portables,agricultural traction engines,steam tractors,road locomotives and showmans engines,wagons,and a full range of agricultural equipment.It was the steam roller which dominated production however representing two thirds of total output.The firm expanded during the later years of Queen Victoria's reign,and by 1895 was employing a thousand workers. The firm sold its products around the world,Australia being an important market. After the First World War,like many steam engineering companies,falling orders due to the march of the internal combustion engine,compelled Aveling & Porter to join the Agricultural and General Engineers Ltd consortium,which failed in 1932.The road roller side of the business was bought by Barfords,and Aveling-Barford Ltd of Grantham continued to make steam rollers,and eventually internal combustion engined rollers to recent times.There are 600 examples preserved in this country,of which 75% are steam rollers. Aveling & Porter as a firm are justly famed for their steam road rollers, the basic design continuing for 50 years, & whilst other manufacturers made rollers, some in high numbers,it is the Aveling with which the public identify as the humble road making steam engine which came down every road & street,until superseded by modern technology.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The firm ,John Fowler & Co, are synonamous with steam ploughing,their mighty ploughing engines dominated this form of mechanised agriculture throughout the latter part of the nineteenth century,and well into the first couple of decades of the twentieth century,before as with most steam the ubiquitous internal combustion engine in the shape of tractors took over. The founder, John Fowler, was a mechanical engineer specialising in agriculture,especially at first,land drainage.In 1857 he invented his first self-moving ploughing engine, built by Clayton & Shuttleworth.In 1862 however, John Fowler was in his own engineering premises,the Steam Plough Works in Leeds,Yorkshire.Tragedy struck two years later when John Fowler died in an accident,but his family and business partners,especially a Scottish farmer called David Greig, carried on the work. Almost immediately portables and agricultural traction engines were being built at the Works.From the 1880's onwards into the twentieth century in addition to their ploughing engines and dedicated ploughs,harrows and drainage equipment,which sold all over the world;steam road rollers; road locomotives and showmans engines;wagons(from mid-1920's) and light haulage tractors were added to the portfolio.The firm also diversified into the building of stationary engines,railway locomotives,colliery equipment, electricity generators and machinery for local authorities.The firm exported and established overseas subsidiaries where their products were built under licence.Fowlers managed the downturn in steam products better than most after the First World War,due in part to a loyal customer base and diversification into other forms of heavy engineering,and their last steam engine,a road roller was sold in 1937.Just prior to that six Super LionA" showmans road locomotives,considered by some to be the pinnacle of road steam engineering were built up to 1934. The firm was taken over in 1947 by the T.W.Ward Group,and Fowlers as an individual brand was no more.There are approximately 700 examples preserved,a quarter of which are ploughing engines. The firm, John Fowler & Co, are synonamous with steam ploughing,their mighty engines dominated this form of mechanised agriculture throughout the latter part of the nineteenth century,and well into early twentieth century, before as with most steam the ubiquitous internal combustion engine in the shape of tractors took over.
