A Burrells Traction Engine driving a threshing machine. Traction engines were widely used in farming and engineering until the advent of the internal combustion engine. Their uses on the farm included providing power for a variety of implements,such as harvesters and threshing machines. Civil engineering projects,for example bridge and road building required them for transportation of men and materials (they frequently towed large trailers); adaptations of the basic traction unit included road rollers,steam shovels,diggers and tractors. This engine was built in Thetford,Norfolk,UK,in 1910 | |
