Improvement in planing-machines
|
Adam Cant |
ON, Canada |
Equivalent to Canada patent 4,530. The patented machine is a rotary-bed planer. The patent covers the design of the bed-slats and the driving-wheels for the bed.
The 1897 Cowan & Co. catalog has a "12 in. patent revolving bed moulder" bearing this patent date. Although Cowan Co. was a rival to Cant, Gourlay & Co., this patent is the only remotely likely candidate matching the patent date (there were several Canadian patent issued on the same date but no other patent from that date is applicable to a moulder). |

William Henry Essery |
ON, Canada |
Although no assignee or co-inventor is listed, the patent drawing is titled, "Essery & Webster's Improved Pulley". Patent {CA14,406} constituted an extension to this patent, and was granted to Essery and to Stephen Webster of Hamilton, Ont. We don't know anything about Webster, but Essery was apparently a shoe manufacturer.
"Essery's Patent Loose Pulley" is listed in an 1882 catalog from Cant, Gourlay & Co., Galt. |
