Notes |
CHAS. A BRANSTON CO. (Toronto) This company manufactured x-ray and electro-medical devices circa 1917. The company is not listed in an 1894 directory, so it must have been established after that. It is not known yet when the company ceased. Charles Branston manufactured radios at Buffalo, New York, in the early 1900s, and appears to have maintained that operation at least as late as 1926. When he began his operations in Toronto, Ontario, is unknown, but in a Canadian patent application (#200714) for a vibrator for high frequency electro-medical apparatus, dated September, 1919, he stated he was "of the City of Toronto." A further patent application (#217323), in March, 1921, patent issued 1922, shows the owner as The Charles A. Branston Company. |
