Manufactured Steam Engines

      The Wright Steam Engine Works, of Newburgh, N. Y. have reorganized and are again prepared to do business and to furnish the Wright Automatic Cut-off Steam Engine. The company will also be able to furnish Corliss engines to those preferring that type, as the Wright company have purchased all the drawings, patterns and patents of Chas.A. Dixon, of the late Dixon Engine Works of Newburgh, N.Y., so the Dixon improved Corliss engine can be furnished in all sizes. With this combination the new and complete shops of the Wright Steam Engine Works can be run to their full large capacity, and with the ample capital now invested in the company there will be no doubt of its success, and we wish this old established business a long continued prosperity. (Nov 1895)
