Improvement in connecting-rods for machinery

Thomas Hall |
Bergen, NJ |
The inventor's name was a common one and it seems that at least two same-name inventors were active in the same era: one was a notable early inventor and manufacturer of typewriters, and who would also manufacture a patent drill grinder. He variously lived in New Jersey, and in Brooklyn and New York City. This inventor is the one listed in VintageMachinery.org's Manufacturers Index. Another Thomas Hall was active in Massachusetts and obtained several patents related to textile machinery and sewing machines. Even though this current patent is related to sewing machines it seems to be for the first Thomas Hall. |

Drill-grinder

Thomas Hall |
New York, NY |
This was the "Ideal" twist-drill grinder that was manufactured by the inventor, a New York City machinist. The inventor is better known as having patented and manufactured one of the earliest typewriters.
The improvement is to the bit-holder that references the groove associated with the cutting edge to be sharpened and orients the bit correctly as the bit advances toward the grinding wheel. |
