PEET Samuel Joseph

Samuel Joseph PEET was born around 1822 in Canaan, Litchfield (Connecticut).He had invented a new type of valve for steam, water and gaz.
Joseph WHITLEY, a British citizen of Leeds, had taken a license from PEET to produce the valve which explains why the Luxembourg patent application was filed by PEET using WHITLEY’s address in Leeds, although he actually resided in Boston (USA).
PEET was thus the first US inventor applying for and obtaining a patent in Luxembourg.
Samuel Joseph PEET died in 1877 in Boston.
