Boring and mortising machine
|
Alfred Swingle |
Galveston, TX |
This machine was written up in an 1849 issue of "Scientific American", which gave its manufacturer as N. Hunt & Co. It is seen in an 1858 catalog from J. A. Fay & Co., but we believe that in this case J. A. Fay & Co. was a reseller rather than a manufacturer. |

Mode of banding pulleys for saws
|
Dexter H. Chamberlain |
Boston, MA |
"... or in other words, a Mode of Driving the Shaft of a Circular Saw or other Piece of Mechanism..."
The specification says that the patent is assigned to "Chamberlain & Hunt" but we have found no evidence for any such partnership. The 1854 "Journal of the Franklin Institute", in reporting on this patent, says, "Dexter H. Chamberlain, assignor to himself and Nehemiah Hunt, Boston, Massachusetts." |

Of interest because the assignee apparently also manufactured a hub mortising machine and the inventor later manufactured woodworking machinery. |
