Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Traylor Engineering was established in 1902 by a young mining engineer, Sam Traylor. Initially, the plant made heavy-duty equipment for the mining industry. Some went to American industries, but most was sent for export to Europe and other overseas buyers.

With the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the French and British contacted Traylor for manufacturing munitions shells and naval mines. When the United States entered the war in 1917, the company made marine engines and boilers along with other war essential parts for ships.

While going back to the mining industry during the 1920s and 1930s, World War II turned the company back to being a vital defense contractor. In 1959, Traylor Engineering was sold to the Fuller Company and continued manufacturing mining equipment until the early 2000s
