|
Description: |
| The inventor—or someone with the same name, and there were at least three men of that name at the time—had been with J. A. Fay & Co., and then worked for woodworking machinery manufacturers Williams & Orton in San Francisco in 1899.At the time this patent was issued, the assignees, Silas W. Gregory and Henry P. Gregory, were co-owners of H. P. Gregory & Co., which was a large woodworking machinery dealer and the sole distributor on the Pacific Coast for J. A. Fay & Co., the Tanite Co., and others. An 1884 article described them as "importers, commission merchants and manufacturers"; we do not know what they manufactured themselves. |
