Subsequently improved by British patent GB-579,210. 
Ron Geesin's "THE ADJUSTABLE SPANNER" connects this patent to the British UTILEX combination tool; examples found in the U.S. are marked to reflect the later patent and a British "Registered Design" and the example shown in Geesin's book matches the arrangement shown in the later patent as well. |  |
