The company that became Rexnord was founded in 1891 as Chain Belt Company by inventor C. W. LeValley and two foundry operators in a former Pawling & Harnischfeger (P & H, Collection 414)) building in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Its initial product was, as the name implies, chain belts; by 1900, conveyors and bucket elevators followed. LeValley designed a new steam-powered concrete mixer, dubbed the Rex (Latin for “King”) as the first product of its Construction Machinery Division. Rex dry batch pavers in the early 1910s. The Pumpcrete, believed to be the world’s first concrete pump, was introduced in the 1930s. Retrieved from http://archives.hcea.net/index.php?p=collections/findingaid&id=169&q=&rootcontentid=7844

Didn't Rex used to make mixers? Haven't noticed their name anymore. Does any one know if they still do? |

Rex made a bunch of concrete equipment, their pavers seemed to be pretty popular, some had the 'Pumpcrete' machines mounted right to them. The US army used one in Korea on the ImJin river during the war. Check out the great big victolic system. Cool pix Todd, Thanx! |
