Using Google's new patent search feature, I've added info on as many of F.C. Osborn's patents as I could easily find. Two comments:

  1. This is an interesting study of how inventors often work - sometimes single items, but very often small parts or improvements in something that exists already. It did not take as much work as it might seem to compile this, and it would be interesting to see similar lists on pages of other inventors listed in Wikipedia.
  2. The patent information available via Google is impressive, but there are imperfections in terms of how what I presume to have been scanners render the titles. Nevertheless I was frankly amazed at being able to access this info so readily. --A12n 01:39, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
