Description:

The inventor's earlier patent ratchet brace (see patent 37,971) was manufactured by Davenport & Betts but we have no information on who, if anyone, manufactured this brace. Witness Lysander Wright was a well-known manufacturer of woodworking machinery and it appears that Olmsted was working out of Wright's shop; see also patent 47,777.
