Lombard Traction Engine Company, Waterville, Maine. Alvin Lombard is the gentleman with the vest and tie.



Another view of the factory. Assembling an early "Lag Bed" tractor chassis (circa 1915-16)


A circa 1917 view showing 10 ton Lombard tractors in assembly. The stack of castings on the left are yoke and bearing assemblies for the front sprockets and provide for track tension adjustment.

Funny you mention that since as I was looking at the first Lombard pic I was noticing how the machines on the right were turned so the daylight would be at the lathe operator's back and on the front of the work even though it brings the belt out toward the operator.

Nice picture Enginebill ,
It looks like a #0 Brown and Sharpe horizontal mill in the center and a Brown and Sharpe # 1 universal cylindrical grinder on the right .
A nice view of the belt drive system for the grinder.

They always show the lathe plugged into an overhead light in the ads. How where you supposed to see to work without the light working?
