Built his first gas engine in 1902...
Check valves...Asbestos rings,
Tinkered until it started and ran with ease
I love stories like that

According to everything that I have read about Stanley Shaw, he was a mechanical genius.
Here are a few more links on Shaw history:
Shaw manufacturing time line
National Shaw DU-ALL Tractor Club
Shaw also built several automobiles:
Shawmobile
1917 Shaw Speedster
(this is a photo of one of the three known to still exist)

Thanks for the History lesson.
Here is an ad for the Shaw motor attachment from 1923 for a bike.
