Taken from the Western Development Museum website: "[Haggert Brothers] originated in 1849 in Brampton, Ontario and operated until 1891, manufacturing a variety of farm machinery including portable steam engines. Its Cornell engine was promoted in the 1883 Farmer’s Advocate as “the most powerful...of any engine made in Canada.” J.M. Ross produced the Cornell after Haggert. This is from an article by Alex Campbell, director of the Manitoba Agricultural Museum, published in Manitoba Co-operator 13 December 2017. https://www.manitobacooperator.ca/country-crossroads/the-peter-and-duncan-henderson-threshing-outfit/ "Prof. J.E. Sweet of Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. developed the Cornell portable steam engine design. He licensed the manufacture of the design to Haggert Brothers of Brampton, Ontario. Haggert manufactured the design until 1891 when the company ceased operations. The company was then acquired by the Ross family and manufacture resumed. J.M. Ross and Company manufactured the Cornell in both portable and traction versions and in a variety of sizes: 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22 horsepower. J.M. Ross and Company later moved operations to St. Catharines, Ontario and while there obtained the rights to manufacture a Garr-Scott threshing machine design. However, the company ceased operations at some time after that and disappeared." - Function
