[Steam-engine] The steam roller

[Dave Merchant]

That is the book you would want to look at to id the roller.

The roller on the book cover is a Buffalo-Springfield, one of the biggest 
makers.
The spotting features you mentioned are consistent with that id.

Just based on production quantity, there is a high probability that any 
tricycle roller
you see with a similar configuration is a B-S.

Many of the other manufacturers' rollers were adaptations of their traction 
engines,
usually with a single cylinder. About the only adaptation made was replacing
the front wheels with a single drum wheel.
