Yes, Stivers could have work on a "model" in order to get it perfect for production. But during 10 years ?? (regarding the patent, in 1903, it was still active, and anyway, its number was stamped on the first Humanatones, with Couchois' ones. So Carter's patent was bought (or paid for)).<br /><br />UkeHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01175787452954907320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266509147115962751.post-90747214236789419012012-10-08T14:35:30.477+02:002012-10-08T14:35:30.477+02:00It would be very interesting to find out what the ...It would be very interesting to find out what the Humanatone originally represented in 1894.

But indeed, there is a possibility that Stivers bought the Nasalette patent rather soon. But is this case, why would have he founded the Humanatone Co. in 1903 only, 10 years after Chicago Fair ??
