        Description: |  
| In 1868, Bishop & Fairchild incorporated as the New England Manufacturing Works & Co., which seems to have disappeared within a year or so. Thus far we have no reports of a surviving example of this drill, although an 1866 newspaper article mentions that it was being made by Bishop & Fairchild. |
