A Federated Press piece recalls Norton a power substation foreman who kept a hidden cubbyhole of gadgets. He could summon any tool by pulling a lever or switch, convincing the crew he could make whatever device was needed.
The passage describes Norton as arrogant and highly intelligent, preferring machines to people and looking down on slower thinkers. He elicits solemn attention from engineers, opposes unions, and treats workers as fools while pursuing monopoly power, often unaware of his own dominance.
The piece argues that inventors rarely profit and monopolies arise when a key process is controlled. It uses Norton and Best-On-Earth as examples where a cheaper new method prompts licensing with limits, market division, and high prices, creating a monopoly that benefits big business rather than the original discoverer.
