Western Clock Company Patents
Charles Stahlberg's patent of Sept.
22, 1885 describes the basic process used to make United Clock Co.,
Western Clock Mfg. Co., Western Clock Co. and Westclox clocks. To make
a wheel and pinion assembly, steel pinion and pivot wires and the brass
wheel were held together in a jig while a molten lead alloy was poured
in. Then the lead alloy solidified, holding the steel and brass parts
firmly in place.
Andrew Neureuther's patent of October
28, 1902 is for a wheel and pinion assembly used by Western Clock
Company and Westclox. It is an improvement on Stahlberg's 1885 patent.
To make a wheel and pinion assembly, steel pinion and pivot wires and
the brass wheel were held together in a jig while a molten lead alloy
was poured in. Then the lead alloy solidified, holding the steel and
brass parts firmly in place.
