Ar the Owners of the Saecbine Rowiile -
ur Town.
The newly invented spoke and handle
machine, which is owned and controlled
by the Patton Wooden Manufacturing
company, consisting principally of
Pattom parties, is now, beyond ques.
tion, a pronounced sacoems. The first
machine was constrocted at the shops |
of Rowley & Hermance at William
sport and on Satordsy a complete test
was made in the presence of Lawrmoe
Platz, the inventor; I. M. Pattempon,
president of the company; Dr. 8 'W.
Worrell, vice-president; J. W. Lapfer,
treasurer, and others, which proved
the
interested.
The principal feature of this pew
expectation of those
machine, which is altogether different
from any other on the market, is that
it shaves the handle or spoke while all
other machines tarn them on a lathe
The capacity of this machine is over
400 handles per hour, or eight times
faster than any other one pow in use,
. which will certainly revolutionise the
spoke and handle business.
As was stated in the COURIER some
time since, the Patton Wooden Manu-
factoring Co, which was orgasised
during the month of March, i» an in-
i concern with a capital stock
of $12,000 of and it is the intention of
the company fo engage in the handle
and spoke business on a large scale
The company has already porchased
the B. F. Wise saw and planing mill
near the P. RR. station, where it has
commenced the manufactare of saw
and planing mill producta The mill
will be thoroughly remodeled and refit
to suit their wants and when the new
machine has been placed therein and
the plant is in full running operation
it will give employment to quite a
namber of nen. In view of this fact
the citizens of Patton will welcome the
pew industry with open hands,
The following in regard to the new
machine is taken from the Willlamsport
Gazette and Bulletin of Monday, Aog-
gat 15th:
“Mossrs. I. M. Patterson, of Lock
Haven, 8 W. Worrell and J. W. Lap-
fer, of Patton, president, vice president
and treasurer, respectively of the
Patton Wooden Manufsetaring com.
pany, were in the city Saturday to
witness a test made on a sewly-in-
vented machine fur the manufactiare of
wood spokes and handles. The machine
was made at the Rowley & Hermance
machine shop ander the sunsrvision of
the inventor. The leat was eminently
satisfactory
“The departure from the usaal style
in the machipe is that it shaves the
wood, while others turn it. The capae-
ity of the machine is between #0 and sa
450 spokes an bour.
“Rowley & Hermance will cottinue
to manufacture the new machine. The
Patton Wooden Manufactaring com-
pany holds and controls the patent,
“Editor E. Will Greene, of the Par |
TON COURIER, accompanied the officials
and witnessed the test.”
