Biography of Robert S. Condon
|
|
Description: |
| It is unusual for a design patent to exist for a machine that was never produced but such may be the case for this patent. According to an online biography (see link), Robert Scovill Condon worked at Kearney & Trecker 1924-1929 and for Gleason Gear Works 1929-1936. He then moved to Rutland, Vermont; Alexander G. Hatch was the president of the Rutland Fibre Can Co., and it seems that in about 1937, Condon and Hatch co-founded the Fibre Can Machinery Corp. with Hatch as president, Condon as VP, and Allan S. Wilder as secretary-treasurer; Fibre Can Machinery was acquired by Continental Can Co. in mid-1945, and Condon remained with the company until his retirement in 1960. Fibre Can made machinery for packaging motor oil and other products and they never made a milling machine. So it would seem that Condon was thinking about manufacturing a milling machine—perhaps he contemplated starting a separate company for that—but so far as we can tell, that never happened. |
