Ten More Stories
The Ones That Did Not Fit in Nobody Meant To Invent This
Ten more true stories, in the same large print, with three Things to Talk About after every one. Josephine Cochran's dishwashing machine. The paper bag machine Charles Annan saw in a Boston iron shop and tried to patent as his own. Mary Anderson's windshield wiper, Garrett Morgan's safety hood, Marion Donovan's diaper cover, Bette Nesmith Graham's bottle of white paint, Jacob Davis's rivets, Sylvan Goldman's shopping cart, the Pyrex casserole, and the week the sun did not come out for Henri Becquerel.
