From ENC Classroom Calendar: http://enc.org/features/calendar/unit/0,1819,49,00.shtm "Some objects are so commonplace that we usually don't give them a second thought--except when we need them! And then we think of them in terms of how we can use them, not how they were invented. The safety pin is a perfect example. The safety pin came into being in 1849. On April 10 of that year, Walter Hunt was awarded a patent for what he called a "dress pin," -- Sybil Finemel Library Director MLIS.CIO. Los Angeles CA Contributor, lii.org, Librarians' Index to the Internet http://lii.org/ Virtual Reference Desk Volunteer 24/7 Reference Librarian. sfinemel@comcast.net "Manners are of more importance than laws. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in." Edmund Burke (1729-1797) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=- All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
