Benjamin Holt
Benjamin Leroy Holt (January 1, 1849 – December 5, 1920) was an American inventor who patented and manufactured the first practical crawler-type tread tractor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Caterpillar History )〕 The continuous-type track is used for heavy agricultural and engineering vehicles to spread the weight over a large area to prevent the vehicle from sinking into soft ground. He founded with his brothers the Holt Manufacturing Company.
==Early life==
Benjamin Leroy Holt〔 (January 1, 1849, Concord, New Hampshire, – December 5, 1920, Stockton, California), was the youngest of four brothers and eleven siblings, the children of William Knox Holt and first, Eliza Jane Virgin, and later Harriet Parker Ames of Concord, New Hampshire〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=William H. Holt Genealogy and History )〕 William Knox owned a sawmill that made hardwood for wagon and coach construction. In 1864, Benjamin's brother Charles H. Holt arrived in San Francisco, California where he founded C. H. Holt and Co. The company produced wooden wheels for wagons and later on steel streetcar wheels. Brothers William Harrison Holt and Ames Frank Holt arrived in 1871.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Caterpillar Inc., Roots in Late 19th-Century Endeavors of Best and Holt )〕 The company sold hardwood, lumber, wagon and carriage materials, primarily manufacturing wagon axles, wheels, and frames. The brothers shipped hardwood from New Hampshire by ship to San Francisco.
In 1869, Benjamin went to work in his father's sawmill, readying hardwoods for shipping to his brothers in San Francisco. At age 23, he was given an interest in the business, and he managed shipping the lumber to the west coast. His mother died in 1875 and his father died eight years later in 1883.
With his parents gone, younger brother Benjamin Holt left for California as well.
