Huber Manufacturing Co.

The New Huber Traction engine company of Marion, Ohio, (founded in 1854)[1] built engines from 1885 to 1903. In several respects the engines were different from their competitors in that the boilers had return tubes, (a two pass system, much like a marine boiler) and engines were reversed on top of the boiler (contrary to conventional practice with engine forward and crank at rear). The boilers were economical as they captured more heat from the stack gases.

The boilers were shorter in length with the engines made in a variety of sizes—in the 15 horsepower range.

Huber was acquired by A-T-O in 1977, and the Huber Division was sold Enterprise Fabricators in 1994, who relocated it to Galion, Ohio. Production ceased after 2002.[1]
