In 1869 G. W. & F. Smith, a partnership of George W. Smith and Franklin Smith, was manufacturing the Talpey's patent self-feeding table saw. This saw was also manufactured Hoag & Hampson and Wm. H. Hoag & Bro. We do not yet know the connections between these firms, or the timeline of when each firm was manufacturing the Talpey's patent saw.
