British Timken was established in Chester Road, Aston, Birmingham in 1937 manufacturing tapered roller, parallel roller and ball bearings.
•
British Timken was a division of the (then) Timken Bearing Company of Canton Ohio, now The Timken Company.
The tractors were to be made of components from various sources, including Nateco (National Equipment Company of Texas) tractor base, a Continental Motors Company engine, and a Timken Company transaxle assembly.
These modifications included outside Caprotti valve gear, roller bearings (both Timken and Skefco types) on the coupled and tender axles in varying combinations, and an experimental steel firebox.
The test machine is based on a machine manufactured by the Timken Company from 1935 to 1972.
Timken approaches Ingersoll-Rand to purchase the industrial side of Torrington’s business but soon got interested in its entirety as it realized Torrington’s automotive business was stronger than originally thought.
The charter cars run on old NZR Timken bogies limited to 80 km/h, not the 100 km/h standard carriage train speed.
He has served at The Timken Company as Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and CEO.
