It was developed by Clayton& Shuttleworth, an engineering company located in Lincoln, England, that was established in 1842. ¹² The company began building portable steam engines in 1845, and added threshing machines to their range in 1849. These products formed the core of their business, and resulted in Clayton & Shuttleworth becoming one of the leading manufacturers of such products. ¹ The first traction engine was created in 1859, when Thomas Aveling modified a Clayton & Shuttleworth portable engine, which had to be hauled from job to job by horses, into a self-propelled one. This alteration was made by fitting a long driving chain between the crankshaft and the rear axle.
