The Hornsby Chain-Track Tractor is the ancestor of all "caterpillars". After some petroleum-powered prototypes, in 1909 a steam-powered unit was sold for work in the Yukon Territories, where oil was scare but coal and water abundant. The steam engine (Boiler and machine aggregate) was delivered by William Foster, of Lincoln. The track system and steering was created by David Roberts at Hornsby Co.
The Roberts patent rights were sold to the Holt Co in early 1914, which was in 1925 absorbed into the Caterpillar Co.
Today, only the chain tracks of the Hornsby Steam Crawler have survived.
There is a breathtaking live steam model of this tractor at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hvzBofFfzA which helped me a lot in figuring out the right proportions.

Considering that I have been collecting images of Winster for many years, I was delighted to "discover" it.
I hope there are many, many more images of Winster yet to be "discovered" which are able to find a place in this Flickr collection.
My thanks are due to Andy Wood who uploaded the image to Facebook's Old Matlock pics where I spotted it and who has kindly given me permission to display it here.
