Head of Department
Ferrabees of Stroud were typical of the many semi-rural engineering companies which produced a remarkable range of items and installation and maintenance services during the middle of the 19th century. Examples of their engines can be found illustrated in "A Treatise on the Steam Engine" by John Bourne. Amongst their many products, they were the first to produce the cylinder lawnmower.
