Abstract: A gauge for spherical objects which includes a cylindrical tubular body having an interior passageway to receive an object for random movement, the passageway being of precisely developed configuration, which is maintained because the material forming the body has a very low coefficient of expansion since it is a mixture of catalyzed polyester resin and silicon carbide grit or comprised of equivalent materials having like characteristics.

Abstract: A draw bar for collet chucking spindles having an elongated body with a wrench head, a removable spacer positioned adjacent the head and first and second thread sections at the opposite end of the body, the first section being removed when the threads become worn and the second section being thereby accessible for collet opertion, the spacer being then removed likewise to operate a collet.

Abstract: A pill dispensing device comprising a case supportable on a wrist, in which a cartridge for dispensing pills is positioned, the pills are arranged to be delivered one at a time from the cartridge through openings in a pill container, a housing and a protective cover when in alignment and by pressure of a spring member which is tensioned by longitudinal movement of the pill container.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of making a fork for a fork lift vehicle, which fork is formed with an integral head, created by forging the same, into a hooked shape form, the rest of the fork being of generally conventional configuration, the fork further including a mechanism to effect latching of the same in position for use made possible by the method and ultimate form of the fork head and to make positive the positioning and release of the fork for movement into various transverse positions with respect to the vehicle.

Abstract: A fork for a fork lift vehicle, which is formed with an integral head, created by forging the same, into a hooked shape form, the rest of the fork being of generally conventional configuration, the fork further including special devices to effect latching of the same in position for use and to make positive the positioning and release of the fork for movement into various transverse positions with respect to the vehicle.

Abstract: An attachment for buckets of vehicles known as front end loaders or the like, which consist of one or more, usually a pair of generally flat fork bodies removably positionable at the open end of the bucket of such a loader, the fork bodies being supported below the bucket, closely connected thereto by a bucket edge gripping bar extending along the bucket edge which provides for adjustment of the bodies at the edge, fasteners engaging suitably formed parts of each body and the bar, to maintain the attachment in place, to facilitate operation of the loader as a fork lift.

Abstract: There is disclosed a swab article having a polyester urethane foam body of any preferred form fastened to a handle extending into a bore in said body, which bore is created without dust and in which the handle is maintained by adhesive, the bore in the body having a cushioned bottom to prevent the handle from penetrating therethrough during use.

Abstract: A status record system in which master record cards and a series of operation description status cards associated with each, is provided to furnish significant information with flexibility to inform a user of certain manufacturing aspects, involving for example, sales, inventory, material and supplies, the status of each being quickly ascertained and readily changed to maintain records as events occur to assist in coordinating the production of parts or mechanisms, status information being furnished by the size, shape, relationship and position of status cards with suitable indicia, readily observable to quickly pinpoint areas requiring attention and those which have been attended to as well as those which do not momentarily demand such attention, the indicia being arranged in a helpful relationship for information purposes.

Abstract: An apple tree which is a sport of "Starkspur Red Rome Beauty" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,121) and develops overall red fruit coloring in September well in advance of parent, has greater sugar content, keeps well in ordinary storage conditions on the average about one hundred sixty days or longer, is mildew and insect resistant similarly as parent, but grows as a less compact tree than parent.

Abstract: The variety hereof, is particularly outstanding in its wide geographic adaptation, its ability to produce even in areas infested with Fusarium oxysporum, better than average rust resistance, with a tolerance also to crown rot (F. moniliforme), which is substantially better than comparable varieties and particularly Mary Washington from which the parentage hereof was derived.

Abstract: An asparagus plant having particularly valuable male characteristics and suitable for use in production of edible spears and of hybrids since it transmits high yield, rust resistance, and good field tolerance to root rot (Fusarium oxysporum) and crown rot (F. moniliforme) which would otherwise limit production, enabling growth where standard susceptible cultivars cannot be grown profitably.

Abstract: An apple tree which closely resembles the usual Jonathan in form and size, producing fruit having the color and shape of Starking Delicious (unpatented) but actually tasting and having the texture of Jonathan, with improved sugar content at comparable stage of development and good keeping qualities.

Abstract: An asparagus plant having female characteristics, originating from the Mary Washington cultivar, which has been found suitable for use in production of edible spears and of hybrid seed because of its ability to transmit rust resistance, high yield and good field tolerance to root rot as well as crown rot which would otherwise limit production, enabling growth where standard susceptible cultivars are not profitably grown.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of carnation plant, having large, serrated flowers, strong resistance to soil borne diseases, maintains the magenta flower color, which resists fading, strong, heavy terminal with large side buds on weak secondary stems, which cultivar was originated by crossing numbered but unnamed and unpatented seedlings.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of carnation plant, with superior resistance to soil borne diseases, having small, finely, serrated flowers and a distinctive magenta flower color, which was originated by me by crossing numbered but unnamed and unpatented seedlings.

Abstract: A Philodendron plant of compact form having broad thick leathery leaves with prominent depressed veination, brick red color when immature and becoming black red upon maturing.

Abstract: An Apple variety which may be classified as a striped or partially red variety, similar in color, shape and type to the Delicious variety having large size, disease resistance and better taste as compared with Yellow Newtown, the tree being vigorous, upright, but spreading with good crotch angles, adapting well to leader training.

Abstract: A variety of apple tree of the McIntosh strain, being a full genetic dwarf which even after years of growth maintains short height, the crotch angles of the branches being consistently between 72 and 90 degrees with these angles being maintained without training, the intervals between nodes being consistently short and identifying the tree as a spur-type, propagation on seedling or other rootstock being successful for excellent anchorage, adaptability to a wide range of soil conditions being a very important consideration, the fruit being typical of the Rogers' red McIntosh without any tendency to striping.

Abstract: A Sophora japonica tree discovered in a block of standard Sophora japonica seedlings, specifically in the block of Sophora japonica seedlings known as Regent, an unpatented variety, and which my instant variety is distinguished by much more narrow and upright head of branches having a narrow rectilinear crown in outline, more free of cold weather twig die-back than normal seedling grown Sophora trees, resistant to stem cankers, and sparse flowering and fruiting which makes the new variety valuable for street trees grown in paved areas.
