        Dates of existence

        History

        In 1854, Frederick Garner Beckett established the Atlas Works foundry and machine shop in Hamilton, Ontario. By 1861, the Works were being operated by F. G. Beckett & Co., manufacturing steam engines, metalworking machinery, and sawmill machinery. The company survived until at least 1873 but appeared out of business in 1881 when the Works were renovated to become a cotton mill. In 1889, Mr. Beckett partnered with Joseph H. Killey to establish the Killey-Beckett Engine Works in Toronto.
