Description: |
| Ad in May 1887 issue of Carpentry and Building: "Joslin's patent re-sawing machine, with segment saw. The best in the market. For sale by the S. A. Woods Machine Co." The saw is labeled with this patent date and "I. R. Joslin, N.Y." The inventor was a long-time employee of the S. A. Woods Machine Co., and by the time of this invention he was vice president of the company and head of their New York operations. Given all this, and the fact that this patent is not assigned to S. A. Woods Machine Co., it seems most likely that Joslin developed this machine on his own time, patented it, and then licensed it to his employer. In August 1886, only four months after this patent was issued, Joslin retired due to failing eyesight. He died of complications from typhoid in October 1889, age 56. At the time of his death he was working toward starting his own woodworking machinery manufacturing business. |
