Thaddeus Campbell, Miner and Inventer

To see him today, you would never guess that Thaddeus began work as a shovel and pick miner. But after witnessing the grisly outcome of many untimely falls by transport elevators, Thaddeus patented a new safety brake mechanism that was put on elevators across mining country as well as in the increasingly tall buildings across this growing United States.

Now as a well known local businessman, Thaddeus works from his office of Sutter Street, managing the production and distribution of his inventions.
