cellophane invention accident brandenberger

  • In fact, it was a stained tablecloth that led to the transparent food protector - cellophane.
  • One day in 1900, Dr. Jacques E. Brandenberger was sitting in a cafe in his native Switzerland, when a hapless customer spilled a glass of wine. That fateful accident would change the landscape of food service forever.
  • While watching the waiter change the tablecloth, Brandenberger had an idea - a stain-resistant tablecloth. He wasn't sure how he'd accomplish it, but it seemed logical to apply a waterproof, flexible coating that would make the tablecloth stainproof.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Brandenberger had failed to find a waterproof tablecloth, but had instead invented a clear, flexible, plastic coating.
  • In 1917 Brandenberger gave his patents to La Cellophane Societe Anonyme and joined that organization.
  • The first use of this new plastic film was in gas masks.
  • In 1923 La Cellophane reached an agreement with DuPont to allow that company to market Cellophane in the United States as a flexible covering for food.
  • By 1938, cellophane sales accounted for 25 percent of DuPont's annual profit.
  • Wood, paper, and cotton all contain cellulose.

  • Martin Cooper, who turns 82 on December 26th, is an electrical engineer – having gained his Master’s degree from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1957.
  • Cooper’s inspiration for undertaking the project was the Star Trek television series, in which a small, hand-held ”communicator” device was used very much in the manner of a portable phone.
  • As I walked down the street while talking on the phone, sophisticated New Yorkers gaped at the sight of someone actually moving around while making a phone call. Remember that in 1973 there weren’t cordless telephones, let alone cellular phones. I made numerous calls, including one where I crossed the street while talking to a New York radio reporter – probably one of the more dangerous things I have ever done in my life.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Interestingly, the first person he called was Joel Engel, his chief rival at AT&T’s Bell Labs, to tell him he was calling on a portable phone.
  • The original phone weighed a gargantuan 30 ounces, and was referred to as the “Brick.”
  • With nearly four decades of success in the telecommunications industry, Cooper’s guiding philosophy is to look to its bright future: It’s very exciting to be a part of a movement toward making broadband available to people with the same freedom to be anywhere that they have for voice communications today. People rely heavily on the Internet for their work, entertainment, and communication, but they need to be unleashed.

    This is a very good biography about Martin Cooper and the invention of the cell phone. It also has some pictures of him, the phone, and also one of Joe Engal.
