Further proof that the best engineers belonged to the greatest generation. They had an ability to visualize complex mechanical devices that is lost thanks to computers. I've seen some engineering sketches from the 50's and 60's my grandfather had and they put a CAD drawing to shame.
This invention is a good example. It solved a problem and appears simple at first but I bet it is fairly complex. Was it successful? No, but someone wasn't afraid to try it.
ya man same with my uncle. raised me to think outside the box. what some may call a jury rig we called it innovation.
