A propos de cet article

First edition. 6" x 4" x 1/4" stamped and addressed envelope housing information, letters, blueprints, etc. for Patent No. 625,375 that was filed on June 1, 1895 by John Winsor of Oorry, Pennsylvania for a typewriter. Serial No. 682,292. (No model). Attached to inside of envelope is a copy of Patent No. 625, 375, which is clipped from the U.S. Patent Office Gazette. Envelope contains the following items: 1. Letter from the United Typewriter and Supplies Company in New York City to John Winsor responding to a telegram Winsor sent to Mr. N.A. Miller. "The writer having been connected with the American Writing Machine Company while you were with them remembers very distinctly that your position in the tool room will enable you to know all about the different machines that went through. Will you be so good as to let us know if it is still possible for you to have clearly in your mind the writing machines manufactures and sold by the American Writing Machine Company." 2. June 4, 1904 letter to Winsor from Stocking claiming that he intends, "to contact the Examiner and point out fully to him the features of difference. You do not mention in your letter what advantages are secured by your arrangement of the bars over the diverging bars used by Stover." 3. Oct. 3, 1904 Document received from the U.S. Patent Office informing John Winsor that his application for a patent for an improvement in type bars and supports that was filed on March 12, 1904 has been examined and approved. A final fee of $20 must be paid. 4. Letter to John Winsor from E.B. Stocking informing him that his installment of $20 was received. Furthermore, "I have examined the sample of tuft enclosed with your letter, and consulted the Examiners regarding the same. He advises me that patents of this character are scattered over a large field and any tieing devices of similar construction, for instance, in connection with a harvester, might be cited in an application for your machine. I would, therefore, suggest that you send me a sketch and description of the practical advantages secured by your improvement before making the examination in order that my report thereon may be of so definite a character as to assist you in the development of the idea." 5. Two copies of blueprints. 6. March 31, 1905 document from the U.S. Patent Office informing John Winsor that his application for a patent for an improvement in type bars and supports that was filed on March 12, 1904 has been examined and approved. Again, a final fee of $20 must be paid. 7. Letter to John Winsor from E.B. Stocking informing him that, "the Government Issue Fee upon your type bar application and arranged for the issue of the patent on April 25th when it will be forwarded to you." Further, protection in Canada for the patent can be obtained at a cost of $5. 8. Also included are generic letters and notices from E.G. Siggers including information on patent and trade-mark protection in the colonial possessions of the United States; a proposition to earn a copy of any patent; an opportunity to purchase a photo engraving on metal for only $1.50; an opportunity to patent your product in Canada for $40; and a 48-page booklet produced for E.G. Siggers with information on how to obtain a patent, trade-marking and copy-writing, etc. The last item is a personal letter from friend John Breen to John Winsor in which he writes, "That must certainly be a great machine, and would like very much to see it work. So you don't think you would care to go to work for the monarch Co. I see their picture of it in the paper. It looks very much like the Underwood, but I don?t believe they are sending out many machines. We are making and shipping 117 machines a day or over 700 machines a week. I have been looking at your blue prints. That ought to be a mighty good type bar, and a cheap one to make and seems as it you ought to be able to do something with it for a type bar is about the most principal thing about a typewriter." All items.
