John Stevens (Wisconsin inventor) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Stevens (Wisconsin inventor)
John Stevens was a miller and inventor who lived in Neenah, Wisconsin. His inventions in flour milling revolutionized the process, leading to large-scale shifts in wheat-growing regions, and to the predominance of particular milling companies and mill-equipment manufacturers. Today Patent flour is still referred to due to Stevens' patents. ==Early life== John Stevens was born in Llechryd, Cardiganshire, Wales on December 4, 1840, the son of John and Elizabeth Bowen Stevens. His father was a landscape gardener. In 1854 they emigrated to the United States, settling in Neenah. Neenah at that time was a major flour milling center, and Wisconsin was a leading wheat growing state. As a teenager, young John went to work in the mills to help support his family. In 1860, Stevens started work at a mill owned by John Mills on the upper race. Here he met his future partner, Tom Oborn. Through a series of consolidations and growth, Stevens eventually bought this mill and an adjacent mill, the combined mills known as Clement & Stevens.
