This is one of two rolling mill engines supplied to the Johnson Co. of Lorain, Ohio, by W & J Galloway of Manchester, England. One engine was ordered in July 1894, and the second in October, and both were shipped in February 1895. This was a repeat order, Galloways having supplied two similar engines seven years previously.
One engine had cylinders of 55” bore, 60” stroke (for a blooming mill), while the other was 48”/50”, for a train of roll stands for rolling streetcar rails. Both operated at 150 psi.
The second engine was made by Galloways in 1880 for Bolckow, Vaughan of Middlesbrough, England, in 1880. 40” bore, 60” stroke.
