Violin Construction Patented by Hall and Hydroplane Experiments
A 1908 report describes Lewis H. Hall of Hartford patenting a violin body under tension by trimming top and back plates and pressing them into place. It also covers Professor Todd’s hydroplane studies to skim water, aiming to double speeds with a four cylinder engine and flexible propeller arrangements, while noting experimental rather than theoretical progress.
