I was a bit confused--an article in National Fisherman many years ago featured the Wright shop in Tacoma, whose proprietor had inherited the name and had a few of the old engines in his collection, and I believe gave a bit of history--wish I could remember the article's date! Doug

Richard, didn't know about Western gears, but Seattle shops made all kinds of stuff for the smaller fish boats--Kolstrand comes to mind. Of course, the biggie was Washington Iron Works, which made the famous Washington (or Washington-Estep) diesels as well as heavy logging equipment. The larger WIW diesels had factory gears, the little ones used Joe's gears (Petrelli & Snow, I think).
