I am  looking for a little statistical information on
traction engine  manufacturers.  Who was the biggest
builder of traction engines and  how many did they
make?  Who was next.......?  I'm sure that the  Racine
Water Heater Co. made the most but how many?  I think
that I  read the other day that Huber made 11680 and
that probably included  rollers.  I want to know
because I often get asked this question when  talking
with non-steam people.  They also ask how many were
there  (total) someone feel free to take a WAG at that one!

Andy,
According to information I got from Mike Rohrer, the Geiser works in its 3  
ownerships, (Geiser, E-B, Geiser) built 11609 steam engines, but this includes  
portable, stationary, and skid as well as traction.
