Description:
"This invention consists of means for driving rotary foot-power machines, such as saws, lathes, emery-wheels, &c., without the use of heavy balance-wheel and crank motion, and so constructed that the speed can be adjusted to any number of revolutions required with the aid of the ordinary cone-pulleys and belt..."

A catalog and price list from Riverside Machine Co. indicates that they had acquired all rights to the "G. W. Brown Foot Motion". Some of the catalog pages say at the bottom, "G. W. Brown, 89 Aborn St., Providence, R. I.", which confirms that Brown himself had been the manufacturer.
