Charles Brooks - Patents http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blbrookspatents.htm Charles Brooks invented a street sweeper truck and patented it on March 17, 1896. Historically, prior to Brooks' truck, streets were commonly cleaned by walking workers, picking up by hand or broom, or by horse-drawn machines. Brooks' truck had brushes attached to the front fender which pushed trash to the curb. Brooks also patented an early paper punch, also called a ticket punch. It was the first ticket punch to have a built-in receptacle on one of the jars to collect the round pieces of waste paper and prevent littering. http://www.belowtopsecret.com/viewthread.php?tid=5268 Not a very good picture but it is him. http://www.theplainsman.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2005/02/10/420acecbda738 |
