Inventors and Their Inventions Index

The book has invention indexes by Inventor, Invention, Company, and Trademark plus a comprehensive word index. Shown below is only the "By Inventor" index. However, be aware that you should not take the index or column headings too literally. The "inventor" list, for example, includes names from the text, such as Charles Muench, that are not inventors but rather that spearheaded companies founded on inventions. Where the inventor is mentioned in the text other names associated with that invention do not appear in this index. Also an inventor/invention pair is by no means intended to imply that that inventor was the first to invent that type product though some, of course, were.

Not all inventor names, company names, etc. that are mentioned in the text appear in the indexes either (example, the text mentions an invention but no inventor) but they do appear in the comprehensive index in the book. Company names as they appear in this index also may not have been the official company name at the time of the invention and it's marketing or the company name today either, only a convenient form of the name for your recognition as suits our purposes here. Lastly be aware that not all trademark ownership, Screwpull for example, in the text or the indexes is current reflecting the book as a narrative on how-they-got-to-success and not then-what-happened. In short, an entry in this index is not an answer or a fact, only a place from which you can start your research.
