BUILDERS OF HISTORY AND CIVILIZATION
FrjAH McOor, of Detroit, began hi* work about
1872. During his brilliant career he w as granted
57 parents, most of them relating to lubricating
appliances for engines.
He was a pioneer in the art of steadily supplying oil to
machinery from a cap so as to render it unnecessary to
stop rhe machine in order to oil it. Many of his inven

the Great Lake*.
He was unique in that he was the first man to direct
attention to the need for facilitating the lubrication of
machinery. His first invention, patented in 1872, was
a lubricating cup. From that day his fame as an in

the world.
In responding to the need for still farther improvement
in this work, he patented about 50 different inventions
having to do with the lubrication of machinery. His
lubricating cup became of general use on the leading
