!INVENTIONS: "In October, 1840, The New England Screw Co. was organized and chartered with a capital of $20,000. There were ten incorporators, including Cullen Whipple, Henry Hopkins and Hezekiah Willard, the latter being elected Treasurer of the company, the business being established in a small building on Canal street. Cullen Whipple, who had been in the employ of the Providence Screw Co., was an inventive genius and produced a number of important inventions in the line of screw-making machinery. He had a machine for cutting the threads of screws which he proposed the new company should use, which was patented August 18, 1842. April 6, 1843, his machine for shaving the heads of screws was patented, and April 19, 1843, his device for removing the burs left in cutting the slots in the heads was patented. These three patents were assigned to the New England Screw Co. In 1853, 1854, and 1856. Mr. Whipple invented and patented seven other machines or devices for improving the manufacture of screws, all of which were also assigned to the same company." -- "Biographical History of the Manufacturers and Business Men of Rhode Island" (1901), p. 52-53.
