Patent Number	Date	Title	Name	City	Description
10,528	Feb. 14, 1854	Making Chains	Arcalous Wyckoff	Wellsburg, Chemung County, NY	At least one machine was built and operated in Columbus, OH.
13,606	Sep. 25, 1855	Boring-machine	Arcalous Wyckoff	Elmira, NY	This boring machine was used to bore out pine logs to make water pipes. L. S. Hobbie & Co. of Rochester and A. Wyckoff & Sons Co. of Elmira were two New York State firms that used this machine to make water pipes. The Northwestern Bas and Water Pipe Co. and the Michigan Pipe Co., both of Bay City, MI, also manufactured Wyckoff pipes.
		Boring-machine	E. R. Morrison	Elmira, NY
RE404	Oct. 14, 1856	Improved Boring-Machine	E. R. Morrison	Elmira, NY	Purpose of the reissue appears to be the assignment of the entire patent to Wyckoff. The _Scientific American_ wrote about this patent in February of 1857: "... It consists of a hollow tube or auger having cutters at its extreme end. Within the tube is a rod furnished with an auger-shaped screw. The cutters on the tube effect the boring, while the auger rod extracts the chips. The parts named move in different directions. The machine bores at the rate of ten feet per minute, and with an accuracy that is truly wonderful. ..." A petition for an extension of this patent was filed February 19, 1869. The extension was granted during the week ending October 5, 1869.
		Improved Boring-Machine	Arcalous Wyckoff	Elmira, NY
18,872	Dec. 15, 1857	Boring Machine	La Fayette Stevens	Elmira, NY	The Chemung Valley History Museum has in its collection a document, "Letters of Assignment granting Arcalous Wyckoff rights to the boring-machine improvement invented by LaFayette Stevens, September 22, 1868."
24,773	Jul. 12, 1859	Hollow Auger	Arcalous Wyckoff	Elmira, NY	The aperture in the cutter is slightly elliptical, with the primary cutters (a) placed at the smaller dimension. The core-piece, therefore, is slightly smaller in diameter than the inside of the tubing body, reducing friction. Also, there are secondary cutters (d) just behind the primary cutters, which make shear cuts on a tangent to the core, with the aim of smoothing the core's surfaces and further reducing friction. This patent was granted an extension by/before 1874.
31,509	Feb. 19, 1861	Machine for cutting wooden troughs	Arcalous Wyckoff	Elmira, NY	The 1877-02-24 issue of Scientific American mentioned that Arcalous Wyckoff had applied for a patent extension, presumably for this patent. It was probably not granted.
31,694	Mar. 12, 1861	Hollow Auger	Arcalous Wyckoff	Elmira, NY	The primary goal of this patent is to avoid some of the difficulties of heat treating the cutters, especially for hollow augers of larger diameters. The cutters are formed to the appropriate diameter, then segmented for the heat treating processes. The number of segments depending on the diameter. They are set in an iron ring/base, being secured by a "tongue-and-groove" arrangement as well as set-screws. Though slightly modified, the cutters' edges are to be substantially as found in Wyckoff's earlier patent 24773.

51,252	Nov. 28, 1865	Improvement in machines for boring tubes	Arcalous Wyckoff	Elmira, NY
51,643	Dec. 19, 1865	Improvement in barrel-machines	Arcalous Wyckoff	Elmira, NY
RE2,204	Mar. 13, 1866	Improvement in Hollow Augers	Arcalous Wyckoff	Elmira, NY	This reissue differs regarding the shape of the trailing portion of the primary cutter - it, too, can be sharpened to help smooth the surface of the core. This patent was granted an extension by/before 1874.
53,722	Apr. 03, 1866	Improvement in Hollow Augers	Arcalous Wyckoff	Elmira, NY	This patent is an attempt to address the issue of chips, or shavings, feeding up the spirals quickly and freely. Though the inventor doesn't specify Nye and Haviland's patent (28,400), he makes it clear that their approach left wedge-shaped shavings and the thin portions tended to compact and jam in the spirals. He aims to avoid this problem by having each cutter cut shavings/chips which are thick, but only half the width.
