Patent-wise, the last date indicates 1926 (not a pending patent)...so this machine could have been built as early as 1926 or later.
Here, a photo and historical brief note, founded in 1868 as shown in this book: books.google.com/booksQUESTIONMA... Interesting and cool looking dryer...same questions as John. Here is, possibly, another plant (?)...did they have more than one, since they were Cincinnati born? www.facebook.com/pg/snoop... and a phone number...still in business? :-) www.bloomberg.com/researc... |

Trademark expired in 1986 and has not been renewed.
However some of their equipment is still out there and being used. Martha Stewart and at least one member of this group have an extractor (Montex) still going strong. www.themarthablog.com/2011/12/... ALMC was purchased by McGraw-Edison in 1960 (IIRC) who promptly closed down the Rochester plant. encrypted.google.com/patents/US3... Don't know the reasons why but there are pages and pages of hits on Google of lawsuits involving ALMC as a division of McGraw-Edison. |

What a beautiful renovated building (from the outside). I love to see old buildings recycled (I hate the word "re-purposed")for today's business/residential needs.
I thought the wording was interesting - "An object of the invention.." vs. writing "One objective of the invention.." followed by, "A second objective..." and so on(not that I object). :^p |
