HUDSON MAXIM
Hudson Maxim signs a piece of paper.
Signature: "Hudson Maxim", 5¾x1½ piece of paper. Hudson Maxim
began his career in armaments and explosives in his brother Hiram's gun
factory in New England. In 1888, he began developing new explosives
and by 1890. Maxim invented a new smokeless powder. He helped his
brother found a dynamite and powder factory in New Jersey that year: the
following year, they parted company. In 1892, he began his own munitions factory
in New Jersey, the heart of the United States' manufacturing at that time, where
he developed a smokeless cannon powder. Maxim sold his company to E.I.
DuPont de Nemours & Company in 1897: however, he remained as a consulting
engineer. Later accomplishments include shock resistant torpedoes,
delayed-action fuses and a propulsion substance fro torpedoes. These inventions
greatly aided the Allied effort in World War I. Machine guns manufactured by
his brother changed the weaponry of warfare for all time. Irregular edges. Fold
crease through "M" of Maxim. Otherwise, fine condition.
