Huber Manufacturing Co.

The New Huber Traction engine company of Marion, Ohio, built engines from 1885 to 1903. In several respects the engines were different from their competitors in that the boilers had return tubes, (a two pass system, much like a marine boiler) and engines were reversed on top of the boiler (contrary to conventional practice with engine forward and crank at rear). The boilers were economical as they captured more heat from the stack gases.

The boilers were shorter in length with the engines made in a variety of sizes—in the 15 horsepower range.
