As George Huba pointed out [within my recent memory !], this search engine has features somewhat different from the USPTO Databases site, and from brief use in looking for info re: Alto cl, it seems to have considerable advantage. As it told me, the use of the Logic operator AND is not required [!!]. I dont know about use of OR [or NAND, NOR], does anyone? I did find several new pat #s of interest, a Pedler 2,036,356 , Selmer 2,151,337 , Loney 2,029,261 , Mazzeo 2,494,251 [**?] , but have not tried copying-off as yet. GBK, might this as a new thread serve to continue the discussion/investigation contained in T S's thread [Interesting Observation] re: Alto cl published information? Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

Don,
This is a terrific find and much easier to use than the US Patent Office IMHO.
In just a few minutes and searching for ligature info, I found Bob Harrison's address when he lived in Tiffin and was teaching at Hidleberg College since it was on the 1974 patent application. Also, I got to see the drawings for the Ratterree ligature (I knew Jack way back at Interlochen in the 1950s).
Talk about a history lesson! Thanks for pointing out this great Google enhancement.

That's Great, Hank, congrats, you have expanded my observations and I'll bet there is more to come. The ability to search [also] the older pats by key wordage, names, perhaps assignees, perhaps USPO classification remains to be explored [if its really FULL text searching]. When I have time [from "honey-do's", bill paying etc] I'll try out the copying features, and investigate the "depth" of retrieval, the A C searches came up with many "pages" which seemed to drift off in pertinency, perhaps dropping the last AND required?? No wonder that Google is so valuable to all of us. Don
Thanx, Mark, Don
