    The Ball Engine Company was founded in Erie, Pennsylvania in March 1883, by F. H. Ball and W. H. Nicholson, to manufacture steam engines. In 1913, Charles N. Vicary of the Thew Shovel Company of Loram, Ohio, joined Ball, and the firm began to concentrate solely on the building of steam shovels. The name was changed to the Erie Steam Shovel Company in 1922, and in 1927 to the Bucyrus-Erie Company, after the company merged with Bucyrus Company.
