Fifty years since Seth Boyden the noted American inventor
Today marks the semi centennial of the death of Seth Boyden, a prolific American inventor who eschewed patent protection for his innovations. Born in New England, he advanced leather finishing with a naval form of patent leather and later invented a locomotive cutoff mechanism, yet never patented it. He also pursued malleable iron, steam engines, and horticultural improvements before his death.
