"Remington & Henthorn, Consulting and Mechanical Engineers, and Solicitors of Patents, No. 146 Westminster Street. In the domain of the arts and sciences there is, perhaps, no distinct sphere in which such notable progress has been made during the past quarter of a century, as in engineering. And these remarks apply equally to the civil and mechanical branches of the profession. The advance in steam and naval engineering, too, of late years, has been steady and marked, and is especially worthy of note. A Providence firm, sustaining a high reputation for skill and reliability in the line indicated, is that of Remington & Henthorn, whose office is at No. 146 Westminster Street. They rank among the leading consulting and mechanical engineers in New England, and are widely and favorably known. They have long been at the head of their profession, and receive a substantial measure of recognition. Messrs. Remington & Henthorn give particular attention to the designing and erection of electric-light plants, factories, big manufacturing concerns, and also do a large amount of naval work, yacht and pleasure craft being a specialty. Mr. Geo. H. REMINGTON, the senior member of the firm, is a gentleman of middle-age, and a native of Coventry, R.I.; and Mr. John T. Henthorn, his partner, who is also a man in the meridian of life, was born in Massachusetts. They are both thoroughly experienced and expert engineers, master of their art in all its branches, and are prominent members of the Mechanical Engineers' Society of America, and the Civil Engineers' Society of America. Messrs. Remington & Henthorn were each established on his own account for some fifteen years, and in 1885 formed the present copartnership. They occupy a commodious, and a well-appointed office, connected by telephone and employ a very efficient staff, including competent draughtsmen and skilled mechanics. The firm, who are agents for the Reynolds-Corliss Engine, are prepared to engage in all classes of work in the above indicated, furnishing designs, specifications, etc., at short notice. Special attention is given to consulations, while construction is personally supervised, and all work undertaken by this well-known and responsible firm is certain to be performed in the most careful, skilful and trustworthy manner. In addition to the foregoing, these gentlemen have established an enviable reputation as solicitors of
patents, including Canadian and foreign countries."
