DESCRIPTION:
Could use some help Philip Jones A devoted and enthusiastic corkscrew collector has written a coffee-table book about the invention of a superb corkscrew, but the publisher has evidently put very little effort into professionally editing and designing the book.. "History of a great invention" according to mjm. This book gives one insights to the inventive process of Herb Allen. He invented one of the most versatile and effective corkscrews ever patented . His screw pull is copied by manyas the patent rights expired.Great book. Lots of research went into this excellent history of a great American tool of the 20th century.. "A good coffee table book." according to John K. A very well printed, interesting book but with some factual errors (my wife ran the UK operation and was the first employee in Europe). In places doubtful spelling.
This is the story of the development and realization of one of the best devices in the world for removing a cork from a wine bottle, the Screwpull, and its inventor, Herbert Allen. Alongside hundreds of examples of experimental prototypes, patent drawings, and many production models, the story unfolds to reveal Allen's conceptualization of how the Screwpull should work and how imitation knockoffs affected his market.
