Mechanical engineer Richard James invented the Slinky by accident. In 1943, he was working to devise springs that could keep sensitive ship equipment steady at sea. After accidentally knocking some samples off a shelf, he watched in amazement as they gracefully âwalkedâ down instead of falling.
Bakelite, the first commercially successful plastic was invented in 1907, but fiberglass wasn't invented until 1938, and I haven't found mention of it in motorcycle helmet advertisements before the 1960's.he modern motorcycle helmet, as essential to a rider as the bike, is still a long way in the future though, and civilian riders in the UK weren't required to wear helmets until the early 1970's.
