Vintage Machinery entry for Smith Mfg. Co.

Description: |
| "This invention relates to improvements in pulleys to be used on various kinds of machines for transmitting power by means of a belt from an engine or motor, to the machines, and while it is more particularly intended for use on cream separators of the type commonly known as 'hand separators,' as distinguished from 'factory separators,' which hand separators, it is sometimes desirable to operate by means of gasoline engines, yet it is applicable for use on other kinds of machines..."The inventor had been working for Smith Mfg. Co. of Chicago, which made cream separators among other items. It is plausible that this invention was used by them but that company's history after 1910 is murky and we do not even know if they were still in business at the time this patent was applied for. By 1919 the inventor had established the Fitzgerald Mfg. Co., makers of shaft hangers and other products. |
