As an example, the 1948 Artisan brochure features the Design HUNDRED tablesaw as "Emerson saws"; examples of this saw have version numbers starting with 113, which matches to Emerson Electric Co

　　In 1962 Emerson purchased all King-Seeley Corp.'s design licenses, tooling, and components for Sears, Roebuck & & Co. Specialist and Dunlap lines. Emerson started production of equipments in 1964.
