I think "back then" it worked a bit differently. I think a lot of these inventers at the time worked on their own. They might have gotten funding from people like JP Morgan and such, but not "really" a company per se.
I generally really like history, but I really don't know much about how "inventions" are done back then. When making the cotton gin did Whitney work for someone, or what he on his own. Bonus fact he made the first revolvers for Colt.....
I think they got funding from other big business guys, hay I have this idea for a repeating gun, the Volcanic gun company makes a few but it really does not go anywhere, falls apart and the gamble does not pay off. They try again, this time a guy that does Shirts buys in and the next thing you know we have Winchester, he foot the bill and took the risk.
I think this is the way it should work. Winchester gambled and won, and "put" or "allowed", whatever people that knew what they are doing run the show.
I need to read up more on this part of history.

Jeep rolls from Black Bear Pass
Saturday afternoon was a busy fall day in the gold-tinged mountains east of Telluride, with hikers, Jeepers and nature lovers enjoying the last of the fall colors in the area
Gravity never gets tired.
Thank you,

Just "tiring." I find I have to sit more often these days.
That looks just like the road going up to Switchback Mnt. in San Juan Nat'l. Forest. The four wheel drive's front locking hubs kept popping out in the middle of a snow storm at midnight going up that thing in 1973 deer season . We ended up camping on the road that night.
Those dumbfucks in India will climb on the roof of a trolly and reach up and grab an overhead live wire like it's a strap on a subway. They get fried and their hair starts burning.Turkish "gun safety" strikes yet again...They have absolutely shit for brains when it comes to RESPONSIBLE firearms handling. Attending a Turkish wedding or any large party is more hazardous than taking all of the mRNA shots. There are ALWAYS multiple drunk and high dumbfucks shooting randomly everywhere or doing action movie poses with loaded guns while stumbling around inebriated to the gills. And communities nearby also have to worry about projectiles raining down.
Turks and gun safety is just like Indians and electrical safety. In any typical Indian residential neighborhood, you will see titantic cobwebs of uninsulated high current wiring stretching all over the place, many of them lower than adult height and across walkways or even on the ground. Just naked cables with hundreds of amps running through. And worse, many residents who do not want to sign up for paid electrical service will splice lines from the nearest transformers. You will routinely see men wearing no protective clothing or gloves climb onto massive transformer nests and string wiring from them into nearby residences while the power is active. That is also done using the caternary lines from railways if a railway is close by. Electrocution is the number one cause of accidental deaths in India. Thousands of fatal and often fiery and spectacular electrocutions nationwide every year.
If you read up on that, you'll find a guy in Winchester's employ, a a plant superintendent named B. Tyler Henry, redesigned that rifle for Oliver. Had a falling out and left to start his own company.

They could save the tax payers a lots of money in gasoline driving back and forth all day by just opening up police sub stations in every Walmart in the country.This woman has a strong ground game

I thought he worked for Volcanic? But you are right, my history in "gun development" is pretty lacking.
IIRC Edison had set up exactly what you described. He was getting funding and partially funded it himself. He set up a warehouse for research and paid people to work on their ideas for a lion share when they worked out.
It works the same way today. Ask the guy working for 3M that invented the glue that did not work. Well it kinda works and now millions use it every day when they use a post-it note. He was actually using it a way to stick pieces of paper with notes on his "cubicle" while trying to make a super glue.
Here is a quick read. Fascinating story with all kinds of famous gun names. Smith, Wesson, Henry, Winchester, Jennings. Quite the era for revolutionary engineering.
