Each company has there own style of machinery, this particular piece of machinery has an over hanging cylinder engine. This allowed the engine cylinder to expand and contract without causing over straining. (Norbeck 54) The idea behind this type of an engine was to create a shapely, compact balanced engine with great strength. The parts were distributed so the weight over the wheels would be even. It was also designed so the crankshaft would not tear from the shell and firebox. In twenty-three years they sold over twelve thousand models (Norbeck 54).

This engine was very simple; it was mounted on a direct flute and a firebox boiler. Other models had a double cylinder engine, the outcome of that gave the engine a lot of power. This and two other firms in the area, such as a steel factory, and the Moline Implement Co. They made a total of thirty-three million dollars by 1929.
