| Description: |  | An improvement to pat. no. 260,404 -- P.S. Meabon, July 4, 1882. 
The inner screw bolt sets the size. Turning the handle screws tightens the grip in a clamping action. Another way to think of this wrench is as a "T" handle adjustable socket. 
The comparable Canadian patent is no. CA-18,121 issued Nov. 20, 1883. |  |
