Thersites 06-06-04, 07:52 AM The evolution of useful things by Henry Petroski has a useful chapter whitewolf 06-06-04, 12:19 PM MoMA (Queens, NY) has a nice small exhibit that is related to the subject. Meaning, they took all kinds of usual things, put them on display, and put up posters that say who invented what, and what's the importance of the invention. slotty 06-17-04, 03:22 AM Invented in 1890 by an american called Whitcomb Judson. a swedish guy called Gideon Sundback did some improvements on it in 1912 and made it basically how it is today.
