103705 Randy Roeder <roeder.randall@m...> 2002‑02‑24 Who "invented" the eggbeater drill? or when?
Hi all,

The Millers Falls company claimed to have 'invented' the eggbeater
drill-- a boast that I suspect is grossly inflated. M-F production
started in the mid to latter 1870's.
Does anyone know of anything earlier? I know that breast drill had been
around for at least a decade by this time.

Any theories or facts?

Randy
