Allis was involved in building the first Atom bomb.
The first betatron x-ray machine in the US was built by Allis
Allis invented the first multi v-belt drives
Allis built the largest engines in the world in the 19th century and the largest in the world for the first half of the 20th century. These engines provided power for large cities.
Allis had the largest milling machines and foundries in the world through most of the 20th century.
Allis built the largest crawlers in the world when they introduced the HD19, then the HD20, HD21, then the monster HD41.
