Ruston & Hornsby were general engineers and engine builders. locomotive and
boiler manufacturers. By WWII while the Lincoln Boultham works were pro-
during narrow and standard gauge locomotives, the sheaf ironworks on the
waterside were producing a huge range of engines. from small stationary
engines through to large marine engines. primarily for minesweepers, land-
ing craft, patrol boats, and submarines. Ruston & Hornsby were also
equipped for the production of all the Matilda, Cavalier, and Crusader Tanks.
