 History & Background Dr William Elliot was born in Grafton, Worcester County, Mass. and would grow up to become a dentist. He worked in Montreal from 1846 to 1856, and was made an honorary member of the Canadian Medico-Chirurgical Society. His love and interest were in mechanical inventions however, and he would become known for many improvements to dental and medical tools and machinery. In 1858 Dr Elliot was awarded the first of what would amount to over 130 firearms related patents he would be credited for in his lifetime. While Elliot's patents were primarily used to the benefit of Eliphalet Remington's company (and many were owned by it), Elliot also invented at least one mechanism for Colt, and marketed and sold many of his designs through his own company "Elliot Arms Co.". The four-barrel "Deringer" was called "Elliot's New Repeater" and although labelled "Manufactured by E. Remington & Sons Ilion NY" they were distributed and sold independently of Remington. It is interesting to note that Elliot's cartridge guns, which were manufactured at the time when Smith and Wesson still owned the Rollin White patent, were not considered an infringement because they did not utilize a cylinder.
