Delaware had one patent for every 956 of its population in that year, the last for which both popu lation and patent totals are avail able. New York had the largest num ber of patents during the year— 4,882—but was fifth in patents per capita. It had one patent for every 2,577 of its population. Connecticut, now in third place, long has had an enviable record of invention. Scientific American, in 1902, had this to say about a single city in Connecticut: “New Britain holds the record for inventiveness. Since the existence ] of U.S. patent laws, 1,447 inven tions have been patented by 344 New Britain citizens. For ten years, one patent was granted annually for every 367 residents of the town. At the head of the list: Justus A. Trout, who patented 121 inventions; | George E. Adams, who patented 66; Thomas E. Corscaden, who patented 51 devices, and Henry G. Voight, who patented 44.” National Patent Council included all 48 states and the District of Columbia in its statistical survey, results of which are shown in this chart.
