quote Chris_P:
I also found this quote….
“This circa -1892 electric probably never saw production under the Salisbury label. W>S> Salisbury was granted an 1892 patent for his “Boat Propelling Apparatus.” The flexible shaft of coiled wore wound up a bit when its propeller hit a rock. After the obstruction passed, the shaft uncoiled. Salisbury-like motors showed up in the mid-1890s bearing an Allen nameplate.
Thanks, that is some great information Chris_P. Interestingly, contrary to your book quote, this one certainly does have the Salisbury label.
