Remington, Eliphalet (1793–1861)

US inventor, gunsmith, and arms manufacturer and founder (with his father) of the Remington firm. He supplied the US army with rifles in the Mexican War 1846–48, then in 1856 the firm expanded into the manufacture of agricultural implements. His son Philo continued the expansion.
