TWO CONNECTICUT YANKEES!
Next time you need to do some
measuring for your kitchen snack
bar or your woodworking shop, pause
for a moment and remember two men
from Connecticut who simplified the
task. It was on July 14th., of 1868 when
Alvin Fellows patented his newly designed
spring loaded rape measure. Just four years
earlier William Bangs, Fellow's fellow
Connecticut resident, had patented his
own spring loaded tape measure. Fellows
improved the design by coming up with a
tape measure that would stop and you unrolled
it and then sprang back inside its contained
with the push of a switch! Fellows and Bangs,
two men who really "measured up!" Hope
you're well and that all your NEWS is good!
