Talk:Sky Ride

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following material was stashed in the body of the article, commented out. As the original author of this article, I put it there thinking I'd like to try to make use of it later. Since that doesn't seem to be common practice, (someone just deleted it and I had to fish it out of the history) I'm bringing it here so it does not get lost/forgotten:

[edit] Patent details

I have a family heirloom, a U.S.Patent granted to William Lindsay Hamilton, his heirs relating to "Ropeways and the like". I understand that William Hamilton designed the Transporter Bridge. The Patent number is 1501333 and was granted in Washington on 15th July, 1924
