Description: |
| From the 1855-06-23 Scientific American: "The clamp, K, rotates, and the staves are secured between the edge of a lip on the rods, and a rotating band. The staves are inserted as the clamp rotates, one being placed between the lip of the uppermost rod and a band, and a cam forces the lip out to receive a stave when it instantly is closed by the sprint. The improvement is simple and good."This patent received a full-page illustrated writeup in the 1855-09-15 issue of Scientific American. The article concludes, "Mr. Kennedy is now manufacturing lead kegs at the rate of 50 per hour, upon a single set of the above described machines. More information respecting them may be obtained by letter addressed to him at his residence, Fallston, Beaver Co., Pa." |
