Fairbanks-Morse Hit-'n'-Miss Flywheel Engine https://ibb.co/N6mZvJpn" rel="nofollow">  As Seen at Renfro Valley Appalachian Harvest Festival__2006 A very nice example of a Fairbanks-Morse Hit-'n'-Miss Flywheel Engine Fairbanks Morse and Company began in 1823 manufacturing cast-iron plows and stoves. Fairbanks-Morse manufactured many and varied products; they were famous for their platform scales which sat in any feed-mill or store that sold bulk bagged or boxed items by weight. Fairbanks-Morse even manufactured a line of diesel-electric rail-road locomotives; the "Fairbanks-Morse Trainmaster." The parent company lasted until it was merged in 1958 and by then had become a huge company. Three subsidiary companies exist under the Fairbanks-Morse name to this day, manufacturing scales, engines, and pumps.
