        Description: |  
| The point for the multiple universal joints was access to hard-to-reach locations. The overall components share several features with York's Dec. 20, 1920 patent (no. 1,361,130). 
York's parallel patent (no. 1,498,713) addresses the handle features.  A 1927 TRUTH TOOL Co. (Mankato, MN) shows YORK socket sets with features corresponding to these patents.  |
