Did you know this is the drill bit that was used for oil drilling and made Howard Hughes rich?
Howard Hughes had significant involvement in the oil and gas industry, particularly in his early career. In the 1920s, Hughes inherited his family's tool company, Hughes Tool Company, which specialized in the manufacturing of drilling bits for the oil industry. Under Hughes' leadership, the company developed innovative drill bit designs that improved drilling efficiency and became widely adopted in the oil and gas sector.
Hughes also ventured into the oil business through his acquisition of various oil wells and leases. He formed the Hughes Oil Corporation, which operated oil wells in Texas and other locations.
