Harrison Patent Steering Engine Co
From Graces Guide
- 1883 Wooden model of steering engine on display at London Science Museum
- 1883 and 1886 Listed in Slater's Directory of Manchester & Salford, 1883 and 1886 as Harrison Patent Steering Engine Company, Rumford Street, Cross Lane, Salford: Edward Inman - Secretary
Note: An article in 'The Engineer', 30th August 1878, reported that a new steam steering gear, patented by Mr Harrison, had been exhibited at the Salford works of Hodgson and Stead. Edward Inman was a partner in Hodgson & Stead. Rumford Street, the Harrison company's address, was 300 yds north of Hodgson & Stead's Egerton Iron Works, and it is considered unlikely that a factory of any significant size was located here, and more likely that the engins were made by Hodgson & Stead.
- 1896 Notice of meeting to be held on 22 January 1897 regarding the winding up of the company [1]
- Alex Turnbull and Co of St Mungo works, Bishopbriggs, Glasgow, announced that they were still making Harrison Steering Gears [2]
