The owners of HEROLD & MIELENZ, INC., didn't invent the first electric motor, but their great, great, great grandfather did! The Mielenz Family are direct descendants of Thomas Davenport, a blacksmith by trade, who is credited with developing the first commercially successful electric motor in Brandon, Vermont, n 1834. Davenport began experimenting with electromagnets in 1831 and, not long thereaf
ter, he had constructed his first electric motor. Operated by battery, that first motor was used by Davenport to propel a small car around a circular track, the first recorded instance of an electric railroad. Davenport went on to establish a workshop in New York City and also founded a publication based on electromagnetism and mechanics, printed on a press powered by the electric motor he invented.
