The first American Diesel Engine
Built in Saint Louis and completed September 19, 1898, from designs acquired by Mr. Adolphus Busch, with all American patents and manufacturing rights. It developed sixty horse-power in two cylinders, while the first commercial Diesel built abroad, in the same year, developed but twenty-five in one cylinder.
Installed at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, it was the first Diesel to be placed in service under regular operating conditions. |
