and it\'s founders Philander P. Lane and Joseph T. Bodley.
By Sandra Seidman and Cory Ament. (from www / Farm Collector):The Lane & Bodley Co. was at the forefront of the steam engine industry with their Corliss-type automatic cut-off engines. They produced both stationary and portable steam engines with 2 to 10 HP capacity. As advertised, these engines were unrivaled in economy and durability. A standard single-cylinder stationary engine, for example, had an operating capacity of 100 psi and weighed about 70,000 pounds. These engines, beginning at $700, were tough, durable, and reasonably priced. Many different types of engines were made for various purposes, and this diversity made them even more popular and useful.The Cincinnati stationary steam engine was designed for printing offices, corn mills, cotton gins, sawmills and small factories. This style of engine, made from 8 to 25 HP, had a heavy cylindrical bedplate to which all parts were attached. These engines were built for high speed, and Lane & Bodley declared they would “develop as large a percentage of power as any engine in the market.”
Lane & Bodley also manufactured portable steam engines. They had a large firebox and a steam dome made of wrought iron and were quite mobile for their time: “Our smaller sizes for farm and plantation uses are permanently mounted and can be moved with as much facility as a loaded wagon.” These engines were advertised as costing between $900 to $1,850. The company produced a number of other goods as well. Early products were woodworking machines, circular sawmills and hydraulic elevators. They also sold flooring machines, sash molding machines and surfacers. A 30-inch railway cut-off saw was listed at $175 in their 1871 price list. Every article was tested and examined before being shipped.Direct-action hydraulic elevators were popular (understandably) and were used widely in Cincinnati in such places as the Cincinnati Gas Co., the Cincinnati Public Library, the Grand Hotel and H. Closterman, as well as the Exposition Hall in Chicago and locations in Louisville, Memphis, Baltimore and St. Louis. Lane & Bodley also offered wire cable, hydraulic and steam-powered elevators, as well as valves used in the elevators. For more - Exposition - Cards Click Here: Patriotic Cards
