label: Description (Brief)
content: William Emil Fein was one of many who recognized the opportunities presented by electrical technology in its early years, and was one of the few who was successful in the new, growing market. He founded the C&E Fein Co. at Stuttgart in 1870. This one-half horse power motor was built during the company's early period when it produced a wide range of equipment--generators, telephone apparatus, fire alarms. In 1895, Fein made an early electric hand drill. The company later specialized in hand power tools.
