OLEAN - The best inventions can sometimes be sparked from the most unlikely places. Such is how the modern day gas pump shut off was invented. One cold morning just before Christmas 1939, Richard C. Corson walked past a loading dock at the Socony Vacuum Oil Co. in Olean, and noticed a man filling a barrel with gasoline, said Charles Corson, Richard’s son. He stopped and spoke with his coworker, who was filling one barrel at a time, and asked him “why don’t you rig something up so you can fill more than one at the same time.” “As it was just about lunch time,” Mr. Corson said. “My dad went into the bathroom to wash up and heard the toilet flush and the idea of a butterfly float hit him.” The concept of the float was to allow a person to fill more than one barrel at the same time, the Olean resident said. Additionally, the contraption would be hands free. Richard Corson drew up a sketch and gave it to his assistant Paul Wenke. Together, Mr. Wenke and the elder Mr. Corson constructed a prototype. The prototype was then filed as a suggestion with the company and unbeknownst to Mr. R. Corson, company officials filed for a patent in his name. Richard Corson was born on Dec. 8, 1895, in Bridgeton, N.J., according to his son. Raised from infancy by his grandparents after his mothers death, he spent much of his boyhood performing chores on his grandfather’s commercial fishing boat. His Corson’s father was a glass blower who had relocated to Olean. About 1914, Mr. Corson moved from New Jersey to Olean where he met and subsequently married Mary Margaret Lundy in 1916. Shortly after their marriage, the young couple moved to Akron, Ohio, where Mr. Corson accepted a job with Firestone Rubber Co. According to his son, Mr. Corson suggested a process for redressing drill bits for which he received an incentive award. “My father didn’t have any type of formal schooling,” the younger Mr. Corson said. “He was a tinkerer. He would just design different things.” The younger Mr. Corson said prior to World War I ending, his mom and dad moved back to Olean and his dad was hired by Socony Vacuum Oil Co. as a welder. In its heyday, Socony Vacuum Co. occupied several acres of land in both the city and town of Olean. “The plant covered the current Homer extension and Franklin streets,” Mr. Corson said. “Oregon Hollow and Johnson Road were used as a tank farm where the oil was stored. And the main office was located on Buffalo Street where much of the plant was located.” Prior to the elder Mr. Corson’s retirement in 1952, he presented another suggestion to Socony Vacuum Oil Co. - a gasket cutter. According to Mr. Corson, the device increased gasket cutting operations considerably. Once again, the elder Mr. Corson received an incentive award. According to Mr. Corson, two years after his father retired, Socony Vacuum Oil Co. closed its doors in Olean and relocated its operation to both Paulsburrow, N.J. and Ferndale, Wash.

奥利 - {zh0}的发明有时会引发从最不可能的地方。这就是如何在现代加油站关闭被发明出来。 1939年圣诞节前的一个，理查德科森走过一个寒冷的早晨在 纽约美孚真空石油公司在奥利安装卸码头，并发现一名男子将汽油桶灌装一说，查尔斯科森，理查德的儿子。他停下来，与他的同事，谁是填补一次一个桶发言，问他“你为什么不造的东西，以便您可以填写在同一时间多个。” “由于它只是午餐时间，”科森先生说。 “我爸爸走进浴室洗澡，并 听取了冲水厕所和一个蝴蝶的想法击中他的浮动。” 该浮动的概念是让一个人来填补在同一时间超过1桶，奥利安居民说。此外，将免提玩意儿。理查德科森制定了一个草图，然后交给了他的助手保罗文科。总之，文科先生和老科森先生建造的原型。当时提出的原型 是该公司和科森河先生不知道的，一个以他的名义申请专利公司官员的建议。 理查德科森出生于1895年12月8日，在布里奇顿，新泽西州，据他的儿子。提高了他的祖父母后，他从婴儿的母亲去世，他花了他少年时代的许多表演，他的祖父的商业渔船家务。他科森的父亲是谁的玻璃风机已迁往奥利安。关于1914年，科森先生提出从新泽西到奥利安他在那里会见并随后于1916年结婚玛丽玛格丽特伦。 但婚后不久，年轻的夫妇搬到阿克伦，俄亥俄州，在那里接受了 科森先生与费尔斯通橡胶有限公司的工作按照他的儿子，科森先生提出了一个纠正钻头为此他获得了奖励的过程。 “我的父亲没有任何正规教育的类型，”小先生科森说。 “他是一个熔补。他只想设计不同的事情。“ 年轻的先生说，前科森{dy}次世界大战结束，他的 妈妈和爸爸搬回奥利安和他的父亲是纽约美孚真空石油公司聘为焊机。在其鼎盛时期，索科尼真空有限公司在被占领的城市和两镇的奥利安几亩土地。 “这家工厂目前荷马所涵盖的延伸和 富兰克林的街道，”科森先生说。 “俄勒冈霍洛和约翰逊路被用作油库，石油被储存在那里。而主要办事处位于布法罗街那里的工厂大部分是位于。“ 在此之前老科森先生的退休，1952年，他提出另一个建议，纽约美孚真空石油公司 - 垫圈切割机。据科森先生，垫片切割设备的操作大大增加。再次，老科森先生收到了奖励。 据科森先生，两年后，他的父亲退休了，索科尼真空石油公司 关闭了大门，并在奥利迁往其运作，既Paulsburrow，新泽西州和芬代尔，华盛顿州
