See patent 1,111,358 for an improvement to this patent; that improved patent was assigned to Emerson Electric Co. We could not confirm any relationship between Advance and Emerson, and our best guess is that Advance when under in about 1920 and Emerson bought their patent rights and possibly other assets as well. |
