The Scheme of McGeary Invention Stirs Mill Officials
Professor EF H MacDonald explains McGeary designed a three eighths inch wide iron jig screen frame to replace the wooden frame. The device, presented to Mr Cuddihy and then Mr Evans, would require delays if it failed and caused a shutdown to repair. The wire tied screen would need removal, while the existing design allows quick repairs if loose. Officials objected to possible downtime and did not trial McGeary's jig screen.
