Preliminary "snippet view" results of a google / books search show that William S. Thomson -- had some of the Perfect Handle tool patents & was the first President of Tobrin  Tool when it formed in 1923.

Most of that was discussed here- http://www.papawswrench.com/vboard/index.php?topic=1313.0
How soon we forget -- I see I'd done a better job of finding pertinent text last October.  Maybe I better concentrate on the MVWC Spring Meeting stuff, the March newsletter & the MVWC Membership Directory.
