Comments on: PROVING WOMEN ALSO HAVE IDEAS http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2007/10/16/proving-women-also-have-ideas/ Yesterday's tomorrow, today. Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:37:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: MaggieL http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2007/10/16/proving-women-also-have-ideas/#comment-639575 MaggieL Thu, 25 Oct 2007 03:17:23 +0000 http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2007/10/16/proving-women-also-have-ideas/#comment-639575 The actual problem is getting men to think when women are involved. One can't expect much in the way of details on a single page, most of which is cheesecake. Let's see...the light that comes on when the phone goes off-hook? I'm sure the Bell engineers who designed the Princess phone took credit for that idea...looks like there's some "prior art" here. And 43 patents issued to one person before WWII? No ideas there, obviously. Jane Plant was working as an aircraft mechanic at 14. I wonder if she got any work at College Park Airport (nice place, I've flown in there) when she got back from vaca? Sophie got paid for 80 suggestions in nine years by GE. I'm sure they just wanted to give some money away. The actual problem is getting men to think when women are involved.
