BALDWIN LOCOMOTIVE WORKS, THE, situated at Eddystone, Pa., were founded by Matthias W. Baldwin, who com pleted his first locomotive, the "Old Ironsides," in 1832. It proved a success, and other orders followed. By the time of Baldwin's death, in 1866, the works had a capacity of 125 locomotives per annum, and a total of 1,500 had been built. Baldwin, from time to time, had partners associated with him. After his death a new part nership was organized, and this form of management was contin ued until 1909, when the works were finally incorporated. The plant was concentrated in Philadelphia until 1906, when large tract was purchased at Eddystone, Pa., about 12 m. from the city. The removal of the works to Eddystone was completed in 1928. The Eddystone tract contains about 500 ac., of which Ito ac. are under roof. To 1935 over 61,500 Baldwin locomotives have been built, the maximum annual production being 3,58o in 1918. The company's products now include besides locomotives of all types (steam, electric and internal combustion), marine boilers, forgings and steel castings, ferrous and non-ferrous castings, hydraulic press machinery, tensile and compression testing machines, water power equipment, Diesel engines, etc. (C.
