Vintage Machinery entry for Colburn Machine Tool Co.

Description: |
| Of interest because the inventor also manufactured woodworking machinery and machine tools."My invention relates to burglar-proof safes, particularly that class which are carried on trains between leading stations and are especially exposed to danger and plunder from train robbers, who, having held up the train and intimidated the guardians of the treasure, gain complete access to the exterior of the safe and all point, rendering it only a question of time to enter the same as it is now generally constructed." |
