History

Harrington Cutlery Company

The Harrington Cutlery Company was established in 1818, in Southbridge, Massachusetts by Henry Harrington, a New England craftsman and inventor. The Harrington Cutlery company was the first cutlery manufacturing company established in the United States. Harrington manufactured surgical equipment, shoe knives and firearms. Some of his firearms are on display at the Old Sturbridge Village Museum in Sturbridge, MA. In 1884, Harrington introduced the Dexter trade name. Named after one of his sons, Dexter Harrington, the Dexter line of kitchen and table cutlery became known for its high quality in American homes and restaurants.[1]

John Russell Cutlery Company

The John Russell Cutlery Company was established in 1834, in Greenfield, MA by John Russell. Russell built his water powered factory on the banks of the Green River at Nash's Mills. This site is now part of I-91. He first produced chisels and axe heads, but as the company grew, he began to produce large quantities of high quality hunting knives to supply the needs of the American frontier.[2]

Russell Harrington Cutlery Company

In 1933, the Harrington Cutlery Company and the John Russell Cutlery Company merged to form the Russell Harrington Cutlery Company. The newly formed company was relocated to its present location in Southbridge, Massachusetts.[3]

gollark: Do NOT range extenders, for various reasons.
gollark: OpenWRT is quite pleasant to use, in my experience.
gollark: You probably want to either have something which is explicitly an access point, or run custom firmware, because some "router" products might try and be too smart and operate a NAT.
gollark: What I would do is install routers in room 1 and 3 with Ethernet links to each other, install OpenWRT, operate them as access points with the same SSID, and use 802.11r stuff to make them work together nicelyish.
gollark: If you have a wire to room 3, then just install another AP there.
