Excerpt from Railway Carmen's Journal, Vol. 17: Official Organ of the Brotherhood Railway Carmen of America; January, 1912 Dear Sir: Referring to yours oi the loth inst. Relative to your device for cutting threads on broken train pipes. Etc. The de vice that you have recently invented we have given a very thorough trial and find that it works very satisfactorily indeed. In fact, I believe that all inspection points where the facilities are not good for doing work or this kind should be supplied with your device. It is a great time saver, and a man must indeed be a dunce who could not cut a straight thread on pipe with this arrangement. Yours very truly.
