- Scope and Contents
- The Patent Records are divided into six subseries: correspondence, trademark correspondence, agreements, patents—Aladdin, Aladdin Radio Patents, and patents—others. The patent correspondence, 1937-1963, is arranged alphabetically and deals with specific inventions and/or items such as portable stoves, thermal canteens, and vacuum bottles. The vacuum testing correspondence, 1952-1960, is research and development related. Aladdin sought assistance from a variety of companies to test its vacuum bottles. Many of the letters are to companies that could not assist Aladdin with its testing requests. Of note are the interim instructions for a vacuum bottle testing machine built for Aladdin by Vanderbilt University in 1955. The agreements, 1919-1966, were made with employees and contain names, date of agreement, name of company, and in some instances, agreements for the assignment of patents. Patents specifically dealing with Aladdin are arranged by product type while "other" non-Aladdin patents are arranged chronologically. The Aladdin Radio Patents, 1941-1954, are bound.
