Ideas That Made Fortunes For Inventors
A look at bold, una patented ideas that paid handsomely. Harvey Browne earned 50000 for a bare concept to infuse carbonic acid gas into water, spawning soda water fortunes. Norman Miles sold perforating postage stamp sheets to British authorities for 25000, without patent. John Ruth sold safety valve ideas for 15000 and a sausage-making machine for 5000.
