Another day, another CINCINNATI Breguet
In previous item I saluted a somewhat impractical but decent invention by Lucius Curtiss of Cincinnati. He was trying for a dial telegraph but missed the advantages of a real Breguet.
Could have been worse!
I won't bother to model this one. Patent 97076 by Ezra Gilliland, ALSO of Cincinnati. Gilliland didn't miss the Breguet advantage. He simply copied Breguet. This is a Breguet-on-a-stick.
To be fair, Gilliland later went to work for Bell where he developed some useful improvements in telephone equipment.
