Multiple-spindle drill-press
|
Charles De Los Rice |
Hartford, CT |
This patent date was seen on a drill press from Henry & Wright Mfg. Co. of Hartford. We have also seen an undated condensed catalog from British maker Smith & Coventry, Ltd., which is titled "Sensitive Drilling Machine (Rice's Patent)". The text inside refers to "patents" and we presume that Rice's various drill press patents were all licensed by that maker. |

Belt-gearing
|
Charles De Los Rice |
Hartford, CT |
The manufacturer information is somewhat speculative: the patent was not explicitly assigned to Henry & Wright but an early patent to this inventor, 773,591, is known to have been used by that firm. Rice seems to have been a professional inventor as his numerous patents span machine tools, streetcars, trains, typewriters, and tire repair. Most of his patents were not explicitly assigned. |
