Guarantee Worth Question in Dayton Water Wheel Case
Dayton, Wael, faces a court action over a patent double turbine water wheel bought from eastern makers. The wheel, guaranteed to deliver power with a 22 foot head, failed to meet expectations, forcing use of wood fuel and leading to a costly removal and replacement. Morgan Smith Co sues for 642.16, while Codd and Ralph counterclaim 2126 for wood, freight, and related costs. The trial may resolve how much value a guarantee adds to a purchased device.
