History
The company was founded by Henry Maudslay as Henry Maudslay and Company in 1798 and was later reorganised into Maudslay, Sons and Field in 1833 after his sons Thomas and Joseph, as well as Joshua Field joined the company. It specialised in building marine steam engines. The company produced a special steam-powered mill for the 1852 re-cutting of the Koh-i-Noor.{{cite book|title=The Illustrated London News|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ze1GAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA54|date=24 July 1852|publisher=Illustrated London News & Sketch Ltd|page=54}}
