An offshoot from clock movements was a spring motor-operated flyfan, forerunner of the modern electric fan; F. R. Wilmot, superintendent, designed a crude micrometer, and the company also made incandescent lamp sockets. Bridgeport Brass Company produced the first copper wire strung between New York and Boston, made many telephonic improvements, features a ‘hard-drawn wire,’ various alloys of high tensile strength, and was a pioneer in the adaptation of the electric furnace to the brass industry.  Media Coverage  Future Plans  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Bridgeport Brass Fri, Nov 8th, 2013 posted by mhester 10 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links http://www.flickr..../z/in/photostream/  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
