In 1919 Briggs & Stratton launched a wheel with a motor AO Smith. This wheel, which became the precursor of the P-engine, was used as a bicycle knife for bicycles and bikes Briggs and Stratton. The wheel with the engine has led to the development of a stationary engine type "P". This development revolutionized the production of four-stroke petrol engines and became a starting point for Briggs & Stratton as the world leader in the production of gasoline air-cooled engines. The development of the P- engine and the following models provided a small, reliable and convenient means for supplying energy to a multitude of machines and mechanisms, such as washing machines, garden tractors, cultivators and generators.

In the 1930s, due to the growing demand for small engines, the company is developing a number of new models that are first used in agriculture and defense industries, and soon begin to be widely used in other sectors of the economy.

In 1930, Briggs & Stratton organized a nationwide system of maintenance services using independent authorized centralized distributors. The distribution centers were staffed with training at the factories, they were provided with spare parts, special tools and engines for repair work. Engineering development, production and maintenance - the necessary components for achieving the production company's status of the world leader - were created under the leadership of Charles Couglin.
