Emerson was founded in 1890 by Charles and Alexander Meston. John Wesley Emerson was their principal investor. They claim that in 1892 they sold the first electric fans in America but we have seen an 1883 catalog from Bergman & Co. of New York that shows electric desk and pedestal fans (they are far from the only company to claim that "first"). From about 1948 Emerson began making tools and machinery for Sears, Roebuck & Co. In 1962 Emerson became the primary supplier of such products to Sears, and that relationship continued until 1998. |

"This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in electric motors, particularly alternating-current motors, wherein there are employed starting-coils through which the current is directed when the motor is started, said coils when the motor attains speed being automatically cut out. When the armature attains speed, said armature automatically throws into operative position a clutch mechanism whereby the armature becomes coupled to the shaft." |

We have seen this patent date on a small motor from Canedy-Otto Mfg. Co., and driving a post drill. It is most likely that the motor was manufactured by Emerson Electric and badged by Canedy-Otto. |
