Invention in this country reached
high-tide during the calendar year
1916. Forty-two thousand separate
pateuts were issued to inventors by
Uncle Sam. It is not the number of
patents issued, however, that is worthy
of note, but the character of the in
ventions. The patent office deals with
all the efforts of the world In every
field of industry to advance the useful
arts. Great interests are involved, not
merely of private, but of public con
cern, in the discoveries that are listed
with the patent office.
As an Illustration of what the dis
coveries of the 12 months mean, refer
ence may be made to the fact that one
concern in Chicago reports that it has
effected a reduction In coal consump
tion from nearly seven pounds a kilo
watt hour to 2.7 pounds a kilowatt
hour, as a result of a new invention.
A New York rapid transit company
introduced improvements In the year
which, according to the patent office,
have caused a drop in coal consump
tion from 21 pounds a kilowatt hour
to 132 pounds a kilowatt hour.
An electric plant, through some new
Invention, It has shown, is now able to
generate electricity from coal more
cheaply than can be done from the wa
ters of Niagara falls.
These great
economies are due in large measure to
new inventions relating to automatic
stokers and regulators attached to
furnace construction, to forced draft
and to coal-handling machinery.
The year brought new and valuable
Inventions that had to do with wire
less telegraphy, telephony, the control
of torpedoes, searchlights and gun
pointing, vacuum cleaning. X-ray ap
paratus, liquefaction of air to produce
oxygen and nitrogen for commercial
use, flying machines, the moving pic
ture and mercury vapor lamps.
For a period of some five years an
industrial fellowship maintained by
trained scientists have devoted their
time to the study of methods of bread
making, with the object of producing
better bread. In the last calendar
year, certain of the processes devel
oped through this study were patented
and put Into operation.
Better nourishment of the yeast has
reduced the amount required In rais
ing the bread and maturing the dough,
with the consequent lessening of the
amount of flour and sugar used up by
the yeast and converted Into carbon
dioxide and alcohol. The savings of
these and other economies to those em
ploying the novel processes patented
during the year are estimated to
amount to more than $1,000,000 a year.
This estimate is based on the present
high scale of prices, but on any scale
of prices would, It is asserted, be enor
mous.
The patents In the electrical field
during the year were numerous. In
the field of farming implements there
came the improved tractor engines,
better apparatus for digging, irriga
tion and drainage canals, improved
beet harvesters, etc.
