The company was the world’s leading producer of mining, conveying, and heavy industrial equipment for nearly 100 years. Jeffrey designed material handling products for a wide variety of uses, such as coal mining, farming, amusement park rides, earth-moving, lumber mills, and food processing, the use of which reduced handling costs, increased production, and decreased hard physical labor.

Description: As farms grew larger and fewer in number, technology and equipment became increasingly important to running a farm. This photograph, taken by Joe Munroe in 1949, shows the equipment necessary to run a 400-acre farm in central Ohio. This does not include the roughly 2,000 dollars worth of small tools like grinders and repair tools. Joe Munroe's career began in 1939 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He served in the Air Force during World War II and then joined Cincinnati-based Farm Quarterly magazine. Though raised in Detroit, agriculture became an important subject of Joe's photographs. He moved to California in 1955 and free-lanced, taking magazine assignments and selling his own work. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph shows shielded metal arc welding, informally known as stick welding, which uses an electric current to form an electric arc between the electrode and the metals to be joined. The welder is wearing standard personal protective equipment including heavy leather gloves, a long sleeve jacket, and a welding helmet. Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. This is often done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to become a strong joint, with pressure sometimes used in conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce the weld.
