Description: |
This patent suggests why the inventor was also patenting hollow bits for creating round tenons: "The posts and rails are attached to each other by tenons and mortises formed for the solid material, on the rails, and with the posts, without the aid of metal, or other, fastenings, the tenons formed on the rails making a firm and close joint by giving to the rails a revolving motion after said tenons have been passed into the mortises..."A search through Philadelphia city directories between 1840 and 1856 did not reveal any listings for Mahlon Gregg. |
