Master Barmmie
The Engineer, March 1894.
“Mesars. Bond and Cooper, engineers, Handsworth, have made special machinery for the production of a new wire nail which has been introduced by the Triumph Patent Nail and Tack Company, Henrietta-street, Birmingham.
This patent, which has been taken out for Great Britain, Europe, and Canada, by Mr. T. J. Parkinson, of Birmingham, and which is being worked in conjunction with the Eureka Nail Company in the United States, consists of a new style of head, which by an ingenious arrangement permits of the nail or tack being withdrawn without damage beyond the hole made by the shaft of the nail to the floor or wall into which it is driven.
The new nail is particularly adaptable for floorings, permitting as it does the easy removal of boards for gas pipe and other repairs, and for the laying of carpets, fixture of picture-holder etc. It is claimed that the same nail may be used fifty times, and is easily removable, even although it may be driven quite flush with the flooring or wall.”
