Text says: Be it known that I, PAUL MEYER, a subject of the German Emperor, and resident of Solingen, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Screw- Wrenches, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved screw-wrench of ratchet like action, of which the novelty consists in that the open key of the same engages a six-cornered nut on five sides and that any spring or similar auxiliary means are omitted.
In the accompanying drawing, Figures 1 and 2 show side views of the improved screw-wrench with closed key and open key respectively....... Etc, etc, etc.
