Searches in the Search Room turn up sur
prising information. Long before the inven-
ton of the atomic bomb, Einstein and Vanne-
var Bush took out patents. Einstein's was
for refrigerator; Bush's patent was for
thermostatic control iron. Their genius was
just simmering then; it boiled over later and
helped bring all the genii out of the bottle
with atomic energy.
Sometimes inventors try to buck tradition

Strange things can be patented Since 1881
it has been possible to get patent on fruits
and flowers. Henry F. Rosenberg, of New
Brunswick, N. j., got plant patent No. for
climbing rose, characterized by its ever
blooming habit
Public Tires of Tutti-Frutti
ROM climbing roses to peanut brittle ice
cream is just a side step in the turbulent
world of invention. Clarence w. Vogt, GER
tilted genius of Weston, Conn.,, invented
fruit and nut feeder for ice cream The
public was tired of tutti-frutti," says Vogt.
an energetic man whose brow is deeply knit
by inventive thought. People wanted to
see whole Strawberries in their ice cream So
invented my fruit and nut feeder"
But one captious manufacturer objected
What about peanut brittle?' he asked:
Unfortunately peanut brittle gummed up
the works and gave Vogt Nightmares. Finally

and wiper. The screw distributed the pea

ice cream" said Vogt recently, has been
very good to me-
Once when Vogt was experimenting with
an ice-cream machine pipe sprang leak
and created beautiful snowstorm. Stand
ing in it, Vogt tasted the flakes as they fell.
They were smooth, delicious. This accident
became an asset when Vogt resource
fully analysed it and developed a whip
ping machine, which he sold for $50, 600
plus royalties. An outgrowth of this inven-
ton, gadget called the ''Votator," is now
whipping IS per cent of the nations mar
garine.
Another classic phrase in this wonderful
world is, 'Ill sell you my invention for a
million" Many inventors give themselves
this golden line in thrilling scene written
by their own lively imaginations.
What actually happens may be quite diff
ferent. If an inventor is poor - and some
are as poor as poets - he may sell out too
quickly. During the depression, young in
ventor in Boston sold his patented device
when suave attorney waved 10 one-hun-
dred-dollar bills under the inventors eager
eyes. A few years later the inventor would
probably have made thousands.
Left High and Dry
BUT some inventors hold out too long. An
inventor from the Midwest designed a lock
for freight-car doors. A railroad offered him
$250O0. He held out for $4,000. A year
of dickering went Bly, Along came the wire
and-seal lock which was better and cheaper;
the first inventor was left high and dry.
The question persists: did anyone ever get
a million for an invention? Many did over a
period of years. But a million, spot cash, is
different story. Many years ago, a man with
the startling name of Clarence Birdseye ate
delicious fish dinner in the icy land of Labra-
dor. Birdseye remembered that the fish had
been frozen as soon as it had left the hook.
Inspiration: frozen food. But many head
aches and one bankruptcy stood between the
inspiration and its realization. The Brdseye
Seafood Company went on the rocks but a re-
organized company eventually sold out to
General Foods for $22,0OO,OOO. From this
pile Clarence Birdseye picked up his chips,
a million dollars worth.
In more recent but equally fam
boyant deal, Edwin Armstrong is said
to have turned down a cool million
which RCA offered for his FM patent.
With free-lance inventors inventing is a
fascinating art. But today big companies -
General Electric, Westinghouse, Du Pont -.
have turned inventing into business. They
maintain teams of inventors who pool talents
and patents, compete with other teams.
Despite these high powered creative
teams, invention remains individual, intuitive

The fascinating art of invention did not
originate in this country, but Americans
almost have patent on it today Britain
produced its Watt and Faraday, Italy its
Marconi, but America has not only matched
these immortals with men like Edison. Bell
and Morse, but has gone on to make invent
ing kind of national sport - wonderfully
exciting game that makes US money, increases
our comfort, creates employment and gen.
orally supplies those bubbles which keep our
economic life from going fiat
The wonder of it is that the art of inven-
ton keeps on bubbling. For it was hundred
years ago that weary official of the Patent
Office shook his head and sighed, Every
things been invented" He should have
stood in bed. Today, century later, Patent
Officials, besieged by 2,3OO applications in
the field of atomic energy alone, still shake
their heads but now they say, Anything is
possible"
BUSIEST department of the Patent Office
is the search room, tremendous place swarm
ing with feverish inventors and hustling pat
ent attorneys. The officials sit sedately at
one side, like monitors in a madhouse, while
the storm RACES around them. Rival geniuses
battle over files, struggling to check old pat
ents against their latest brainstorms.
The attorneys, fatter, better dressed than
the inventors, catch the fever, take off their
coats rush from one file to the next. A stout.
wheeling lawyer with a comic mustache
pushes his paunch against an officials desk.
"Wait'll you see this" he says with an apollo
getic smile, from one of my usually reliable
inventors. This time he's off his trolley.
Look"
The official gives the tired smile of wise
old teacher who must now and then indulge
brilliant but batty pupil: Look it up in
Class 10, Subdivision l26''
His signals refer to file in which the attor-
ney will burrow like MOLE There are 800
main classifcations, $4,000 subdivisions! The
search may not only be long and ex-
hausting but it may crush all the inven-
tors hope - by turning up patent that
too closely resembles his own design.

nal. The most common meaning of invent is
to improve" For example, Joseph F. Gid
den got patent in 1847, for an Improve
ment in wire fences" Actually, what Glidden
had invented was barbed wire which made
possible the cheap and efficient fencing of
western farmlands. In 1910, man named
Kristen invented pipe. People had been
smoking pipes for centuries, but Kirstens
pipe had a metal screw in the stem that
absorbed part of the heat from the fire in the
bowl. The Diesel engine sounds like basic
invention but Rudolf Diesel's patent read,
For new and useful improvements in inter-
nal combustion engines" Ever hear of
Gardrad Prothro, of San Antonio, Texas?
Prothro has just patented an improved fold
