Clayton & Lambert Mfg. Co.
In 1882 three brothers named Lambert started a venture in Ypsilanti, MI for the manufacture of gasoline fuelled blow torches.
Mechanics found the intense portable heat of these torches very useful, word soon spread and demand grew, the business flourished.
In 1887, a patented firepot for melting lead was added to the torch line, and its inventor, a Mr Lambert was taken into partnership.
By 1889, demand for blow torches increased beyond production capacity and the company moved to a larger site in Detroit.
There were a few other moves after this the last being large plant at Buckner KY.
In 1970 C&L discontinued the production of gasoline blow torches; they had become extinct due to the use of propane.
