Re: When/where did worm-type hose clamps first appear?

There is a solid band-style clamp on the water-pump side of the short hose connecting the pump to the transmission oil cooler on 55-56 V8s. It has the number "30" stamped on the inside of the band. It is not a worm-style but has a screw and nut for tightening.
Many folks discard this clamp, but I prefer to keep it
