"Vintage Machinery" entry for Lucius W. Pond
|
|
Description: |
| An ad in the 1867 New York State Business Directory from Lucius W. Pond prominently claims, "Exclusive Right to Manufacture Taft's Celebrated Patent Rolling Lever Punching and Shearing Machines. These machines have been thoroughly and rigidly tested during the past five years by Railroad Repair Shops, Boiler Makers, Blacksmiths, Machinists, Gunsmiths, and others using them, and are equal to any machines in use, and in some respects superior. The form is compact, requiring less metal than any other known Press or Shear for the amount of work performed." |
