Bio by: Rebecca King BIO: At the turn of the 20th century, Frank Hardenbrook and William Rice were well-known inventors in Jasper. In April 1901, The Jasper News reported Hardenbrook and Rice had patented a gasoline engine “and will manufacture and place them on the market.” The May 9, 1901, issue of the paper mentioned their engine was “on exhibition at Cozatt’s store,” followed on May 22 by an article boasting of a horseless wagon built by the duo, which was powered by one of their engines. “It made its first appearance on the streets last Saturday and as it wound in and out through the town the people gazed on it with opened mouth amazement.” Hardenbrook and Rice applied for a patent on their engine Aug. 28, 1902, which was granted May 17, 1904 (No. 760,333), covering a “valve-gear for explosive-engines.” The patent documents illustrate an air-cooled engine with a belt- or chain-driven mechanism that acts upon the exhaust valve with a latch-out mechanism operated by a governor weight in the flywheel, and a ported exhaust on top of the cylinder. Hardenbrook and Rice wasted no time putting their engine into production, most likely on a very small scale. It is unknown who did the foundry work for their engines, but it is assumed they did the machine work and assembly. The May 15 and May 22, 1902, issues of The Jasper News carry brief accounts of local farmers in Jasper and nearby Carthage using Hardenbrook-Rice engines on their farms. By Jan. 8, 1903, the paper carried an article titled “Will Move To Iowa,” which reported on a new partnership between Hardenbrook, Rice, and Carl Gade, and the move of the enterprise from Jasper to Iowa Falls, Iowa.
