Westinghouse Machine Company Engine records, 1881-1921.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/503581483

The collection consists of thirty-three volumes of manufacturing and repair records for equipment produced by the Westinghouse Machine Company between 1881 and 1921. The volumes, which are labeled "Duplicate Engine Records," were copied from the original records, apparently for the use of the company's Order Department. The records are arranged in five categories: Standard Engine; Junior Engine; Compound Engine; Gas Engine; and Special Engines, Pumps, and Miscellany. Each engine was numbered in the order of its manufacture. The records for each engine include the engine number, a shop order number, the date of manufacture, the size and speed of the engine, the parts numbers for the engine components, testing information, repair and maintenance orders, and the name and location of the company that purchased the engine. Some of the engine records include sketches and drawings of component parts.
