- Eickemeyer Dynamo, Used by the Haxton Canning Company, 1889 - Rudolf Eickemeyer developed his "ironclad" dynamo in the 1880s. The unique method of construction--its heavy iron field coil construction and iron sheathing--gave the dynamo its nickname. It was compact, rugged and efficient, though the ironclad design made it difficult to cool. This dynamo supplied power for the lighting system and small motors at the Haxton Canning Company in Oakfield, New York, for 15 years.
