Key to Links for Patent Information

USPTO = U.S. Patent Office . Images of the actual patent can be viewed on the U.S. Patent Office web site but a special TIFF viewer must be installed with your browser in order properly work. More information on how to configure your computer to view these patents can be found at TIFF image Viewers for Patent Images.
DATAMP = Directory of American Tool And Machinery Patents . A sister site to VintageMachinery.org with information on patents related to machinery and tools. A much easier user interface than the USPTO's for finding information on machinery patents.

Patent Number Date Title Name City Description
243,692 Jul. 05, 1881 Resawing machine John Connell Rochester, NY The machine of this patent was seen in an 1889 ad for Connell & Dengler. This patent date is also visible on catalog pages for the "50-inch Improved, New Style Re-Sawing Machine" from Cordesman Machine Co.; also listed is the date for patent 279,344, which covers the saw blade. Since both the resaw and blade were designed by Connell & Dengler, it raises the possibility that they were built by them and Cordesman was merely a reseller. The catalog copy repeatedly refers to "our" saw but the saw in the illustration does not have either maker's name on it. It seems plausible, but uncertain, that Cordesman licensed the design from Connell & Dengler so we tentatively list Cordesman Machine Co. as a manufacturer of this invention.

Since both machine and blade were designed by Connell & Dengler, it raises the possibility that they were built by them and Cordesman was merely a reseller.
