William Foster & Co.
William Foster & Co Ltd was an agricultural machinery company based in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England and usually just called "Fosters of Lincoln." The company can be traced back to 1846, when William Foster purchased a flour mill in Lincoln. William Foster then proceeded to start small scale manufacturing of mill machinery and threshing machinery. The mill was converted to an iron foundry by 1856, thus becoming the original Wellington Foundry. During the First World War they built the first tanks for the British Army.
==Agricultural machinery==
The company was known for producing threshing machines, regarded as among the best available.
They also made traction engines, steam tractors such as the ''Foster Wellington'' and Showman's road locomotives.
Foster were briefly involved in a deal to market tractors built by Daimler in Britain but this was dropped after the war. (Little is known about the Daimler tractors which mainly were exported).〔Classic farm tractors, by Micheal Williams, ISBN 978-0753714461〕
