M. Steiner & Company

From the July, 1910, issue of Gas Power it is learned that Steiner included a series of water cooled engines in their line. These consisted of 3, 6, and 8 horsepower single cylinder models, plus a double cylinder engine in 12 and 16 horsepower sizes. This September, 1910, advertisement points out what Steiner thought of as distinct advantages, but the terminology is such that the true value of these features cannot now be assessed. Certainly the engine was rather simple in design, and most likely was every bit as dependable as most of its competitors. If indeed a connection existed between this Dayton, Ohio company and the Steiner Manufacturing Company of Chilton, Wisconsin, a firm link has not thus far been established.

history

Beginning in 1910, Steiner engines appeared regularly in the advertising collumns of various engine trade magazines. The air cooled model was available in 1 1/2, 2 1/2, and 3 horsepower sizes. In addition, Steiner could also supply these engines somplete with pump jacks if desired. Despite the suggestion by some historians that M. Steiner 7 Company operated from approximately 1902 to 1930, no substantive evidence supporting this claim could be located, nor did a single piece of advertising literature crosss the Author’s desk concerning specific details of the Steiner engine line.
