Owen,
I agree with your lower estimate. I think the original search engine I was using was not giving me good results. I tried a few more times using an advanced search, from two different sites.
The most I came up with was 1,430 patents.
www.uspto.gov and Google search are the two I've been using. One interesting find, for DL type 51's, the inventor was W.C. Rayfield, of early race car carburetor fame. The patent is posted on the Packardinfo site, under another subject.
I've attached some of the preliminary search results. Anyone can click on the Google link in the pdf to get them to the full patent document. You can also use the patent number and enter it at the U.S. Patent Office site.
Maybe BigKev can put this under one of the document menu's and it can be revised as more information becomes available.
I've found it helpful to research some of the parts / components I'm trying to repair / restore and print the patent if it exists. I usually get a good engineering type drawing along with a description of how the invention functions.
Makes it easier when I have a bench full of parts and I'm trying to figure out when that last remaining part goes.
Regards,
Dave
