The Independence Wood Split Pulley, patented on July 4, 1882 by Wallace Dodge, introduced a revolutionary split design that allowed installation and removal without disassembling equipment. Made from laminated wood and secured with iron bands, it was lightweight, shock-absorbent, and easy to balance—reducing vibration, wear, and costly downtime. This product laid the foundation for Dodge’s reputation in the industry and helped set the standard for pulley innovation.
