Vintage Machinery entry for United States Electrical Tool Co.

Description:

The following paragraph is reproduced from the April 1946 "Machinery".

"Bradford Machine Tool Co., Cincinnati, Ohio... has appointed George D. Behlen head of the electrical tool division. Mr. Behlen was formerly chief engineer and production manager of the U. S. Electrical Tool Co., and has thirty years experience in the design and production of this class of equipment."

From the above, we infer that in 1940 our inventor was working for United States Electrical Tool Co. In the 1960s he was back at that company, which we know because his patents from that time were explicitly assigned.
