Russell & Company (Steam Tractor)
Russell & Company was a company that made a big machine called a steam tractor. A steam tractor is like a big truck that runs on steam power instead of gas like cars do now. It’s kind of like the trains you see, but it can drive on land instead of tracks.
The steam tractor had a big boiler that heated up water until it turned into steam. The steam was then powerful enough to make the big wheels of the tractor turn and move the vehicle forward. It was very useful for things like farming and construction work because it could pull heavy loads and do a lot of hard work.
Russell & Company made lots of these steam tractors and they were really important back then. But now, we use other kinds of machines that are more efficient and better for the environment. That's why you don't see steam tractors around much anymore.
