R.S. Daly Lindner (Crown) circa 1888 3342(Robert Schlegelmilch? Or Richard Schüler?)
I hadn't thought of looking thru the U.S. of A. patents so I burned some time this a.m. searching. Robert Schlegelmilch entered or looks to have been involved in several circa 1900. I've seen him listed in Meiningen and the following patents give another location:
http://www.google.com/patents?id=c2pOAAA...cad=0_0#PPA1,M1 http://www.google.com/patents?id=ljcvAAA...cad=0_0#PPA2,M1Info on Robert usually is connected to machine tools and I think Stephan Heinrich Schlegelmilch early on to have been a tube borer but is found also involved with machine tools. So I would guess Stephan Heinrich & Robert to either be father & son or for Stephan Heinrich to be an older brother. But at any rate the Schlegelmilch klan look to have been on the front end of the mechanization of boring tubes and were very capable of doing. Another set of Schlegelmilch folk were into porcelain and Stephan Heinrich & Robert appear to have developed grinding machines for their specific application which leads me to believe a similar grinding machine was developed or refined to finish gun tubes. And mechanization is about the only way he could have been Lindner's quantity tube source. At least I think he holds a majority in the stamped initials.
Kind Regards,
