The Mason Motor Company' and its precursors, the Mason Motor Car Company, the Mason Automobile Company and the Maytag-Mason Motor Car Company were American automobile commercial vehicle manufacturers. The company used two cylinder and later four cylinder engines conceived by brothers Frederick and August Duesenberg. Brand names were Mason, Maytag , and Mason-Mohler. A Badge Engineeringdge engineered version for the William Galloway Company was temporally available. Fred Duesenberg was plant manager, designer and partner and board member of the company.

Fred and August Duesenberg
edit
The German-born brothers Frederick (1876-1932) and August Duesenberg (1879-1955) were the youngest of seven children of Conrad and Louise Düsenberg from Matorf-Kirchheide ( Lemgo, lip). After the early death of the father, the family emigrated and farmed in Rockford (Iowa). Already around 1902, the brothers experimented with an internal combustion engine. Fred was a bicycle mechanic, tradesman and a successful cyclist in Des Moines (Iowa) and a self-taught. He co-founded Iowa Automobile & Supply Co. in February 1905. The company was an auto repair shop - the second in town - and a car distributor for various brands, including Ford [3], Rambler [4], Acme and Marion [4]. He worked together with his youngest brother all his life. Rather incidentally, they fiddled with their own engine, which they wanted to use for a planned car. However, there seems to have been little illusion that they could organize an automobile factory on their own; For this, Fred's small garage with car dealers and the bicycle repair shop with a small engine production of August in Garner (Iowa) [5] did not make enough profit. Key patents were filed together; a later is signed by Fred alone. [6] [7] [8] The [Duesenberg Walking Beam | Walking Beam] inseparable from her name ] - valve control with overlong valve tappets the brothers did not invent [9] but their design has original solutions. Together they built the Duesenberg Model A one of the first production cars with eight-cylinder - in-line engine - the first in the United States as well as the first with four-wheel brakes; the latter together with the small manufacturer Kenworthy Motors in Mishawaka (Indiana). For the successor Duesenberg Model J Fred Duesenberg was solely responsible.
Die deutschstämmigen Brüder Fred S. (1876-1932) und August S. Duesenberg (1879-1955) waren die jüngsten von sieben Kindern von Conrad und Louise Düsenberg aus Matorf-Kirchheide (Lemgo, Lippe). Nach dem frühen Tod des Vaters wanderte die Familie aus und bewirtschaftete eine Farm in Rockford (Iowa). Bereits um 1902 experimentierten die Brüder mit einem Verbrennungsmotor. Fred war Fahrradmechaniker, -händler und ein erfolgreicher Radrennfahrer in Des Moines (Iowa) und ein Autodidakt. Er hatte im Februar 1905 die Iowa Automobile & Supply Co. mitbegründet. Das Unternehmen war eine Auto-Reparaturwerkstätte – die zweite im Ort – und eine Automobil-Vertretung für verschiedene Marken, darunter Ford[10], Rambler[11], Acme und Marion[11]. Mit seinem jüngsten Bruder arbeitete er zeitlebens zusammen. Eher nebenbei tüftelten sie an einem eigenen Motor, den sie für ein geplantes Automobil verwenden wollten. Es scheint aber wenig Illusionen darüber gegeben zu haben, dass sie aus eigener Kraft eine Automobilfabrikation organisieren konnten; dafür warfen Freds kleine Werkstätte mit Autohandel und die Fahrrad-Reparaturwerkstatt mit einer kleinen Motorenproduktion von August in Garner (Iowa)[12] nicht genug Gewinn ab. Entscheidende Patente wurden gemeinsam eingereicht; ein späteres ist von Fred allein unterzeichnet.[6][7][8] Die mit ihrem Namen untrennbar verbundene Walking Beam-Ventilsteuerung mit überlangen Ventilstößeln haben die Brüder nicht erfunden[9], ihre Konstruktion weist aber originäre Lösungen auf. Gemeinsam konstruierten sie mit dem Duesenberg Model A einen der ersten Serienwagen mit Achtzylinder-Reihenmotor – den ersten in den Vereinigten Staaten wie auch der erste mit Vierradbremsen; letzteres gemeinsam mit dem kleinen Hersteller Kenworthy Motors in Mishawaka (Indiana). Für den Nachfolger Duesenberg Model J war Fred Duesenberg allein verantwortlich.
