Description: |
| This patent's specification gives the patentee's name as Jacob A. Fay. But the 1840 "Digest of Patents Issued by the United States From 1790 to January 1, 1839", gives the inventor as Jerub A. Fay. The 1853 "Report of the Commissioner of Patents for the Year 1852", in its listing of expired patents, gives the inventor's name as Jerub Amber Fay. Jerub Amber Fay was the founder of J. A. Fay & Co., which by the 1870s was the world's largest manufacturer of woodworking machinery."What I claim, is the manner in which I have constructed and combined together the respective parts of my apparatus, as above described; that is to say, I claim the manner of balancing the wheel upon which the horse is to walk, on its centre, without a vertical shaft, in combination with the mode of bracing the same, and of sustaining the part on which the animal is to walk." |
