Description

George Saxon & Co var et engelsk ingeniørselskab, der fremstillede stationære dampmaskiner. Det var baseret i Openshaw-distriktet i Manchester. Selskabet producerede store dampdrevne motorer til kraftværker og senere til tekstilfabrikker i Lancashire og andre steder.
George Saxon blev født i Manchester i 1821. Han gennemgik en læreplads hos William Fairbairn og blev tilsynsførende. I 1851 flyttede han for at blive formand hos Benjamin Goodfellows værksteder i Hyde, Greater Manchester. Her i 1854 opfandt og patenterede han et smelteligt stik til dampkedler. Det år dannede han sin egen virksomhed ved Spring Works, Openshaw, som handlede under navnet George Saxon. Han var en mølleskærer. Han begyndte sandsynligvis at fremstille dampmaskiner i 1860. Han patenterede mange små forbedringer af motorers design. Han blev valgt som præsident for Manchester Association of Engineers i 1871. Han var også medlem af Institute of Mechanical Engineers. I februar 1879 patenterede han en automatisk afbrydningsbevægelse, som gjorde hans motorer mere økonomiske. Han mente, at brugen af en lang cylinder slag på hans horisontale motorer ville producere mere kraft. Hans sønner fulgte ham ind i forretningen og fortsatte den efter hans død i 1879.
