Worthington developed “unibloc” integral gas engine-compressors

Part one of three: Large horizontal gas engine-compressors

The Cornerstones of Compression series has highlighted many significant products over more than 160 years of continuous progress. This is the second of a three-issue series that traces the emergence of large horizontal gas engine-compressors at the turn of the 20th century and the emergence of the C & G Cooper Company and later, Cooper-Bessemer, as the primary manufacturer of these huge machines for four decades.

The Cornerstones of Compression series has highlighted many significant products over more than 160 years of continuous progress. This is the first of six Cornerstones of Compression corollary articles that provide a look back at the evolution of natural gas pipelines and compressor stations.

This continues a series of Cornerstones of Compression corollary articles that provide an historical look at the industries that drove the invention and technological evolution of compressors and that supported the growth and development of the industries that depended on them. This issue concludes a brief look at compressors developed for “making cold.”

This story continues a series of Cornerstones of Compression corollary articles that provide a look back at the industries that drove the invention and technological evolution of compressors that supported their growth and development. This issue completes the evolution of compressors used for making iron and steel.
