I work for an aircraft restoration company. Please excuse my lack of knowledge in this field.

We recently acquired this 1500 ton press. ( sorry I mistyped it as 150 in the title and it won't let me edit the title) Though it was listed as a Domininion press, the seller confirmed they didn't know that for sure and I haven't been able to find the logo.

Does anyone recognize the logo on the encircled "D" and can tell me who manufactured this machine. Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

There are some other threads here on Dominion Engineering in Montreal.
Use the forum Search engine to find them .
I can’t link it directly but their 1939 Annual Report in PDF format found through this search
Dominion Engineering Works Hydraulic Press - Google Search
Shows Hydraulic Presses as one of their products on the last page.
There may be more available on Line since I last looked .
I have some of their news magazines from the late 1950 s that I can check out.
Your press could be one of their products.
All I have time for right now.
Regards,
Jim
 
I added some scans from the copies I have of Dominion Engineer from 1`959 and 1960 that belonged to my father.
They show that they made chilled Iron press rams in the 1960 issue .
Probably not that different from the chilled Iron rolls for the pulp and paper industry .
I can’t scan more pages until I get to a larger scanner that will not damage the open pages.

Hydraulic Presses also shown near the bottom of page 12 listed in the products of the Industrial Division .
Dominion Engineering Works 1945.6 magazine

I’m not sure how long this will remain on line but the 2015 auction catalogue is for what was once the remains of parts of Dominion Engineering
