Vintage Machinery entry for B. F. Sturtevant
Description:
Chandler W. Jones's "Planers, Matchers & Molders in America" says this of Sturtevant: "In 1856, at the age of 23, with 20 cents in his pocket after paying his fare to Boston (from Maine) he successfully sought a backer for his invention. Soon he improved that machine after designing a means to make veneer strips which were fed through his peg-maker. This vastly increased production."
