During the early 1920s, the Peterborough Canoe Company in Ontario had served as the distributor for Johnson Outboards in Eastern Canada. On May 8th, 1928, Canadian Johnson Motor Company Limited established its own location in Peterborough, Ontario. In 1935 Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC) bought the company. By the late 1950s, around 45% of Peterborough’s production was exported to New Zealand, Venezuela, Hong Kong, England, South Africa, Australia, Belgium, and Nassau. This was done by providing stable employment for over 1200 people at their facility. By 1959, it had expanded to over 400,000 square feet and provided employment to 1,600 people. The company changed its name to Outboard, Marine & Manufacturing Co. (OMMC) (a subsidiary of Gale Products Inc.) Canada before it was dissolved in 1982. Au début des années 1920s, la compagnie Johnson Outboards a décidé d’utiliser la Compagnie de Canoë Peterborough comme centre de distribution pour leurs moteurs hors-bord pour le marché de l’est du Canada. Le 8 Mai, 1928 la compagnie nommée Canadian Johnson Motor Company Limited a établi sa propre usine à Peterborough. En 1935 Outboard marine Corporation (OMC) a acheté la compagnie. La corporation filiale Gale Products Inc. à servi comme sa troisième division. Rendu à la fin des années 1950 presque 45 % de la production de l'usine à Peterborough était exporté à plusieurs endroits au monde. Plus de 1200 personnes travaillaient pour exporter des moteurs hors-bord à des pays comme la Nouvelle Zélande, l'Australie, l'Afrique du sud, l'Angleterre, le Venezuela, la Belgique, le Hong Kong et aussi le Nassau. Rendu en 1959 la compagnie avait grossit a plus de 1600 employées avec une usine qui a augmenté jusqu'à 400,000 pieds carrés.
Function
During World War 2, outboard motors served various purposes, including the construction of floating bridges in Europe. The Johnson PO15, a 22-horsepower row boat engine, was initially utilized by attaching it to one section of a floating dock. The process involved positioning the first section of the bridge upstream, with the engine set to match the current speed of 8 knots, effectively holding it steady against the riverbank. The section would then be secured to the ground while the outboard motor continued operating. The subsequent sections would be brought up and matched with the previous ones at 8 knots, each being pinned in place. In some instances, the Army would employ as many as 100 sections with 100 outboard motors running to facilitate the crossing of a river. Pendant la Deuxième Guerre Mondial les moteurs hors-bord avait plusieurs utilisations incluant la construction des ponts flottante en Europe. Le Johnson PO15 était un moteur avec une Puissance de 22 pour des bateaux d'avirons. Le moteur était aussi attaché à un quai flottant pour positionner un pont vers l'amont. Le moteur était jumelé à la vitesse de l'eau dans le sens envers (huit nœuds) pour le tenir en place proche du bord de la rivière. Le pont pouvait être attaché au sol pendant que le moteur continuait de travailler jusqu'au point ou le pont soit ancré. Les autres sections du pont pouvaient être apportés et fixé en place. Dans certains cas l'armé pouvait apporter jusqu'à cent sections du pont et utiliser le même nombre de moteurs hors-bord en même temps pour s'assurer de pouvoir croiser la rivière.
