1,796,979	Mar. 17, 1931	Radius gauge	George A. Bells	Pasadena, CA	An example, constituting a pair (right and left) has been reported, made by Weaver Mfg. Co., of Springfield, IL, and bearing this patent number. These devices measure the turning angle of each wheel. The angles should not be equal because the inner wheel makes a tighter-radius turn than the outer wheel. At the time of the patent, American automobiles typically had the left front wheel directly controlled by the steering gear while the right front wheel was connected via steering arm and tie-rod. This invention was intended as a companion piece to an axle straightening and camber adjusting mechanism also developed by this inventor; so far as we can tell a patent for that invention was not issued. See, however, patent 2,124,902, which was an improvement on this radius gauge; it also provides more detail on the axle straightening and camber adjusting mechanism.

2,124,902	Jul. 26, 1938	Radius turning apparatus	George A. Bells	Pasadena, CA	This radius gauge measures the turning radius of each front wheel of an automobile. It is an improvement on patent 1,796,979; see that patent for more information. The improvement here is intended to automatically and correctly position each wheel on the gauge.

Ross	Springfield, IL	"The present invention pertains to certain innovatory and valuable structural and functional advantages and benefits in load-lifting appliances for various purposes, such, for example, as the elevation of bombs for attachment to airplanes..."
2,471,901	May. 31, 1949	Load-lifting appliance	William A. Ross	Springfield, IL	This load-lifting appliance is designed to lift a load from 16 inches to 84 inches. It is presumably intended for loading bombs into aircraft bomb bays, a device that the assignee was known to manufacture.
