I want to find some information on two British patents issued in 1931. I Googled "British Patents" and got loads of sites, and all of these sites had tons of information; however, I could not find one where I could just type the patent number in, press search, and get the information. Does anyone here know of such a site?
The patent numbers are 378897 and 379402 issued in 1931 to the division of the Garrard company that made clocks. Garrard was well know for its record-changers and other things. Maybe someone more search savvy than me can find the information.
That's fantastic, wolf63: that clock is very similar to the one I have. However, what I'm looking for is for what parts of the clock mechanism the two patents apply to. By the way, the Garrard company has a really interesting history: http://www.garrard501.com/history.html
Absolutely brilliant, wolf63; thank you. This clock was made in England around 1931 or so, and was given as a wedding present; "lived" there for a while: moved to South Africa for a few years: returned to England for a bit; and ended up here in the Toro0nto area.
