Henry Fear maker

[safeman]

I understood Fear to have been the inventor of the ACME lock, and E Cotterill & Co. bought the design from him — but maybe I'm wrong: I defer to Safeman.

Thank you for your confidence,

In 1890 Cotterill took over F.E.Wilson & Co. and made a lock to Peter Wilson's Patent number 3257 of 1869. They were sold as the Cotterill-Wilson Lock.

Bye for now.
