Did you know that in the late 1800s, American inventor and entrepreneur Harvey Hubbell developed tooling and equipment to serve the growing demand for new assembly and manufacturing machinery?💡 The commercial availability of electric power and advent of the light bulb created tremendous opportunities. Harvey Hubbell II went on to pioneer patents like the “pull chain lamp socket” and “separable plug and receptacle,” ushering in an era of innovation and creating new ways to service a growing customer base of businesses, manufacturers, utilities, and homeowners. #ElectrifyandEnergize

Amazing impact on the world, having invented the pull chain electric light bulb socket AND the wall plug connector for the now uniquitous welectrical wall outlet. Before those inventions, everything was hard wired with relatively cumbersome switches.
