Fishing Tools That Help Oil Drillers Advance
Everett Purcell profiles A T Cooper and L F Valentine, long-time machinists who created the Cooper Die-Form Basket, a eight-size fishing tool that retrieves debris from drilling holes. The device, first popularized after 1949 and used worldwide, helped speed operations without extra hole excavation. The piece covers their careers from the Shell No. 1 era in 1921 to Caltech work in World War II and jet propulsion valves in a Pasadena lab.
