I need some H.A.M.B. rare knowledge

Man it don't get any better than this.

 

Keep us posted on the reaction of your friend when he finds out what it is.

 

I was thinking that..I couldn't blow the pic up and still be clear enough to see...

 

"Well that was disappointing. I was hoping for at least a page and a half of outlandish ideas a la the Liars Club."

There's a Liars' Club!!??!!

 

The Truth-teller's Club would be a whole lot smaller!

There's the patent!

 

There has to be at least one:

A fishing rod holder??

 

Bacon stretcher.... I've been looking for one of those since I was 12!

 

Ive got my grampas compression tester for those type,& that era spark plug hole size....never knew AC made there own tools back then.

 

Welcome Takethefall, I wonder if his dad may have had a bit of input in the design of that tool. That would make it somewhat special to him.

The vast knowledge bank and research ability of HAMB members never ceases to amaze me. In a short time Bobby Sox found the photos of the item showing what it was used for and not a whole lot later Bruce found the original patent application.

Someday I'd think that the tool should go to an aircraft museum that would actually display it.

 

Louver press. The serrated wheel feeds the sheetmetal. I invented it in 1907. But the government wanted it for the war to punch louvers in engine covers for tanks. Rather than pay me millions in royalties, they made the handle longer and called it their own.
