Earlier Marshall Tractor Line
The first single-cylinder Marshall tractor to be introduced was the Marshall 15/30 in 1930. It had a bore of 8 inches with a 10-inch stroke and the maximum r.p.m. was 550.
In 1932 the 15/30 was upgraded to become the Marshall 18/30. This model featured the same bore and stroke dimensions but the maximum r.p.m. was increased and the tractor's transmission was modified heavily.
The next single-cylinder Marshall to be introduced was the Marshall 12/20 in 1935. This tractor was of a completely new design, with a 6-inch bore and a 9-inch stroke. There were many smaller modifications such as a redesigned injection pump and cylinder head. In 1938 the 12/20 model was redesigned and the model coding was changed so that the new model became the Marshall Model "M" tractor. During the war tractor production was reduced greatly due to Marshall's factory capacity being engaged on war work. However after the war, in 1945, Marshall's of Gainsborough Introduced the improved tractor they had developed as the "Field-Marshall"

Famous quotes containing the words earlier, marshall and/or line:
“Quintilian [educational writer in Rome around A.D. 100] thought that the earliest years of the child’s life were crucial. Education should start earlier than age seven, within the family. It should not be so hard as to give the child an aversion to learning. Rather, these early lessons would take the form of play—that embryonic notion of kindergarten.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“We’ll be waitin’ for you, Marshall at the OK corral.”
—Samuel G. Engel (1904–1984)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
