DISCOVERER OF EVOLUTION.
SEYMOUR M. BONSALL,
INVENTOR OF THE "INNOVATION INGENUITIES."
One cannot possibly fail to get enthusiastic over the achievements of the long line of great scientific minds, who have made our civilization possible. "When will their glory fade?"
More humble, yet as useful, are the numerous inventors whose achievements necessarily come under the Third, Fourth and Fifth classification. The inventing and designing of a machine to do work more quickly and better than has been always done by hand increases and cheapens a useful production, placing it within reach of those who would otherwise be deprived of it, and always eliminates drudgery.
[ CHAPTER 13
How to Invent]
How to invent? Invention is a problem and a solution. It necessarily follows that the first thing to do is to thoroughly comprehend the problem and then contrive mechanical means to solve it. Work from the centre outwardly; that is, build up your machine around your object of accomplishment. Do not try to design a machine and insert it afterwards.
