Today in 1911, US Patent 1006008 A was issued, an invention of Stephen Noland Ross, for his “Faucet-Auger.” There’s no Abstract, although in the description it includes this summary:
My invention has relation to new and useful improvements in faucet-angers and the main object thereof is to produce a device of this kind that will be efficient in operation, durable, inexpensive to manufacture and one that will be economical in that with its use there is no waste of the contents of the barrel or keg upon which said auger is applied.
