Rustons was a well established steam engine manufacturer in England in the 1920s they saw the need to get involved with internal combustion engines for industrial uses. The steam engine business was transferred to Ransomes Simms & Jefferies with which Rustons had a controlling interest. They also invested in Barford & Perkins of Peterborough, and Aveling & Porter of Rochester, becoming a new company, Aveling Barford Ltd. "Ruston Bucyrus Ltd. ... Rustons sought amalgamation with American excavator interests. The firm of Bucyrus Erie in South Milwaukee was looking for expansion in the European market. They specialized in this field and were building an attractive range of machines that were complementary to the Lincoln products. The forces were joined and the new Company of Ruston Bucyrus Ltd., was born on the 1st January 1930. The Lincoln factory was to benefit from the new American designs, and Ruston engines were to be used throughout the R-B range." source: http://www.oldengine.org/members/ruston/History4.htm -- Last edit: 2007-12-12 12:11:09
