CAULKING GUN

• Canadian Theodore Witte of Chilliwhack, BC, was pretty good at home repairs but he sure got tired of trying to smooth out putty around windows using a putty knife. One day in 1894, he was at the bakery, watching a baker put icing on a cake using a cake decorator’s gun to force the frosting into a smooth, controllable line. Why couldn’t putty be that easy?

Witte went home and designed what he called a “puttying tool” that allowed putty to be applied in one continuous smooth seam. Unfortunately, the putty industry didn’t pay much attention and Witte never made much money from his invention, today known as the caulking gun.

Respite, Long-Term, and Rehabilitation

• The word ‘smith’ comes from the Saxon word which means ‘to smite.’ In the olden days, a smith was anyone who worked with a hammer, whether he was hammering wood, metal, or stone. Thus there were blacksmiths, clocksmiths, coppersmiths, goldsmiths, gunsmiths, locksmiths, silversmiths, and so on. And since all these smiths needed a hammer, there were also hammersmiths.

QUICK QUIRK QUIZ: A NEW SCREW

• Henry, a businessman from Portland, Oregon, noted that sometimes screws and screwdrivers just didn’t work like they should. They were fine for home repairs and general carpentry, but there were problems when it came to assembly lines.

In the 1930s, automobile manufacturers were screwing millions of screws per minute with power screwdrivers. With power tools, not only was it difficult to fit the screwdriver into the slot of a standard screw, but centrifugal force tended to force the screwdriver to slide out of the slot. Once the standard screw was screwed in all the way, the power screwdriver continued to spin, which either stripped the screw, stalled the screwdriver, or damaged the part.

• Henry invented a screw with a crossshaped slot that could be driven with more torque and would hold tighter than regular slotted screws. He named it after himself. His new screwdriver, with its pointed tip, engaged the screw much more easily and did not slip out.

The indentation in the screw was so shallow that when the screw was finished screwing, the screwdriver tip simply popped out.

• The new screw was first used in building the 1936 Cadillac and proved so effective that within two years all car manufacturers had switched. In 1936 Henry received patents for both the screw and the screwdriver, but it was so widely copied that he lost the patent in 1949.

Henry died in 1958 at age 68 after seeing his screw- named after his last namebecome an industry standard. What was his name? (answer at bottom of this column)

RACHET WRENCH

• Before 1964, there were socket sets but the old-fashioned socket wrench that went with the set had to be twisted endlessly. In 1964, an 18-year-old kid named Peter Roberts was tinkering around in his dad’s garage. His father repaired lawn mowers in his spare time and sometimes Peter helped him out.

• One day Peter decided that repairing lawn mowers would be a lot easier if only the socket wrench had a button that would release the socket from the grip of the wrench. He made one up himself, and it worked. The ratchet wrench was born.

• Peter, who was a junior in high school, worked part-time at the local Sears store. He took the new wrench to show his boss, who showed it to his boss, who showed it to all the company executives at headquarters in Chicago. Nearly a year went by and Peter assumed no one was interested in his invention. Then a lawyer came to visit Peter.

• He informed the youth that Sears was prepared to offer him two cents for every one of his ratchet wrenches they soldwith the stipulation that they would not owe him any further royalties after $10,000. He said it might take Peter years to collect the maximum amount of the royalties owed him. Peter signed the patent over to Sears. A year later he was amazed to receive the entire $10,000 in a single check.

• Suspecting that he had been taken, Peter went to court. His lawyer argued that Sears was guilty of fraud by leading Peter to believe that they would only be able to sell a few wrenches per year when in reality they had sold over a million. He also pointed out that Peter had been a minor when he signed the contract. The judge agreed. Not only did he award Peter Roberts damages of around a million bucks, but he also gave Peter the patent back.

QUICK QUIRK QUIZ: A FLASHLIGHT BATTERY

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver

● A newspaper reporter once asked General Charles de Gaulle, leader of the Free French Forces during World War II and later president of the French Fifth Republic, if he was happy. De Gaulle replied, “What do you take me for, an idiot?” ● If you’re like a million other Americans, you admit to drinking Coke for breakfast. ● The next time you’re planning a trip to Indiana, keep in mind that in that state it is illegal to talk behind a person’s back or engage in “spiteful gossiping.” ● In 1889, a magazine called The Literary Digest made the following prediction: “The ordinary ‘horseless carriage’ is at present a luxury for the wealthy, and although its price will probably fall in the future, it will never, of course, come into as common use as the bicycle.”

● It’s been claimed that prodigy William James Sidis had the highest IQ ever recorded (though any record of the test has been lost). At the age of 18 months, he was reading The New York Times; by the time he was 8, he had taught himself Latin, Greek, French, Russian, German, Hebrew, Turkish and Armenian and had invented his own language he called Vendergood. At the age of 11 he became the youngest person to enroll in Harvard University, and when he was 12 he lectured the Harvard Mathematical Club on four-dimensional bodies. He graduated cum laude at 16. ● Before Charlton Heston became a famous actor, he earned cash by serving as an artists’ model -- and posed in the nude. ● If you wanted to circle the equator with one-dollar bills, it would take 257,588,120 of them.

• Russian immigrant Akiba Horowitz changed his name to Conrad Hubert when he came to America in 1891. He was fascinated by the invention of electricity.

Hubert began to tinker. He invented a number of electrical novelties, such as a portable fan and an illuminated flower pot. He named his business the American Electrical Novelty and Manufacturing Company.

• Then he hired an inventor name David Misell, who had invented the bicycle light. While working for Hubert, Misell invented the flashlight, assigning the patent to Hubert. It was called the flashlight because at first it would only light up for a moment or two before going out. Hubert tinkered with the invention, improved it, patented it in 1903, and handed out samples to New York City cops, who gave him rave reviews. Within a few years Hubert was a millionaire.

• In 1914 the National Carbon Company (which supplied Hubert with his materials) bought half interest in the company, and the name of the firm was changed. Production of the batteries used in flashlights overtook production of flashlights. During the Great Depression, advertisements for the company consistently depicted a child, a “NATIONAL” WORDS pet, and a flashlight in(continued): various Norman suchto ad •Rockwell-like French: Chefs situations. know what One it means “french” a food item.

The prevalence of coffee shops throughout America is proof enough that many of us just can’t get along in the morning without a hot cup of Colombian.

PAINT

QUICK QUIRK QUIZ: TWO INNOVATORS

• In 1866 Henry bought an Ohio paint manufacturing company for $2,000. Four years later, he became a partner with a man named Edward. Back then, painting was a tricky, difficult business, and only professionals did it. The paint had to be hand mixed, stirred often, and used before it dried in the container. Henry and Edward wanted to be able to sell paint directly to the people, so they knew they had to make it easy.

• First they developed pre-mixed paint, then they invented the re-sealable paint can. They created different paints for different surfaces, since metal, wood, and brick all react differently to paint. They perfected interior and exterior paints. They even developed different paints for different climates.

• Because there had been so many shoddy paint companies selling such poor quality paint for so long, paint had a very negative stigma which needed to be overcome.

Henry and Edward decided to offer people a ‘money-back guarantee’ stating that their money would be cheerfully refunded if they were not completely satisfied. This was the first company ever to offer a moneyback guarantee, and it gained the public’s confidence.

• When the partners discovered that automobile paint took 21 days to dry, they developed a quick-dry paint that would dry in a matter of hours. They supplied the Army with camouflage paint during the war. Their company transformed the industry from something that was difficult even for professionals to accomplish to something that was entirely user-friendly.

The company is named after Henry and Edward’s last names. What’s the company called? Answer: Sherwin-Williams.

QUICK QUIRK QUIZ: FISH OIL PAINT • Robert Fergusson ran away from his home in Scotland at the age of 12, and went to seek adventure on the sea. His duties included swabbing and re-painting the rusty metal deck, a tedious chore. One day he lunged for an open container of raw fish oil trying to catch it before it spilled, but failed. It spread all over the deck. In the days following the spill, he noticed that the rust that had been relentlessly creeping across the deck stopped where the fish oil had spilled. He remembered this fact throughout his long career as a sea captain.

• After settling in New Orleans, he frequently experimented with fish oil-based paints.

The problem was that they smelled terrible and took forever to dry. When Fergusson was 42 years old, he was put in charge of a fleet of ships during World War I. Taking the opportunity to do further experiments with fish oil, he finally hit on a formula that smelled better, dried fast, and stopped rust overnight.

• After the war, he founded a paint company in 1921, which did quite well. Today it’s a worldwide leader in protective paints and coatings for both home and industry, and still offers the famous rust-fighting formula that started it all back in 1921.

The company’s motto, ‘Rust Never Sleeps’, was created by the members of the rock group Devo when they worked for an Ohio advertising agency prior to becoming famous. What’s the name of the company? Answer: Rust-oleum DÉCOR BY ABE • When Abe Lincoln was a boy, he saw some boys wading in a mud puddle near the house. He called them over and one by one he held them upsidedown and had them “walk” their muddy feet up the walls and across the whitewashed ceiling.

As soon as his stepmother quit laughing, she made Abe re-paint.

Tools 4 life

By DR. Jim coyle

Makin it Real

Death Valley, the hottest place on the west coast, is a desert floor that provides false hope and life in the form of a mirage.

The more intense the heat gets the more beautiful the mirage becomes. People today are chasing and putting their faith in false securities turning over every rock along the way to try to find the secret. Some seek it through money and success, others pursue it in pleasure and success, The Apostle John (1 John 1:1-7) unwraps 4 guidelines that provide hope and purpose in “Makin it Real” The first is to secure the right foundation, the Word of Life. The second is to surround yourself with the right companions, having fellowship with one another. The third is to have the right source, God is light and there is no darkness. And the fourth is to have the right goal, to walk in the Light as He is in the light. So here is the ground work for “Makin it Real”: the right foundation, the right companions, the right source, and the right goal.

How real is your life?

5-Minute Daily Run?!

I wonder about some of these studies. A new one out claims that if we run five minutes a day, we’ll live a longer life.

The 55,000 participants in the study (which went on for many years) ranged in age from 18 to 100.

Runners had much lower risk of cardiovascular mortality, with a bonus three years tacked on to their life span.

Even runners who ran approximately 51 minutes a week had this same reduced mortality. Their conclusion: Running five to 10 minutes a day results in this reduced mortality.

Despite its conclusion, the research doesn’t actually say “five minutes per day.” The study also didn’t say why it has to be running.

I wonder, too, about the people who participated. If they were healthy enough to run for a half hour, maybe they were already in a health category that would give them a longer life.

In terms of impact on the body, I don’t understand why a five-minute run multiple times a week is as good as a half-hour run when it comes to cardiovascular strength.

This is one time I’m going to give a thumbs-down on research study suggestions, at least for us, and point to another study (2011) that calls for 15 minutes a day or 90 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity ... like walking.

A brisk 30-minute walk a few times a week has benefits. Or spending time on a treadmill or stationary bicycle, or swimming in a pool. Best bet: malls that open their doors early for morning walkers. That environment is warm/cool (depending on the season), has a level surface and is safer than being out on the streets.
