Geneva Construction Company paving the streets of Aurora, IL. in 1947 paving with a Barber Greene Asphalt paver. Intersection of River St & Downer Place Aurora IL The beginning of the Asphalt Paving Machine: On November 15, 1930, in Aurora, Illinois, Harry Barber made a sketch of a new machine that became the asphalt paver. Harry asked patent attorney W.R. Chambers to examine this new machine. The patent was filed on August 20, 1932 with a publication date on December 22, 1936. This eventually became the beginning of the development of the modern asphalt paver. Today there is an entire industry that has been developed from this invention. The machine mixed and placed asphalt in a single operation. This was first exhibited at the 1931 Road Show in St. Louis. Barber realized that the mixing and placing operations needed to be separated, and the mixing section became the line of Barber Greene asphalt plants and the placing section became the Barber Greene paver line. #Genevaconstruction1926 #barbergreene #Astec ASTEC #1947 #AuroraIL #Illinois #Asphalt #constructionthrowback
