After his discharge, he found work as an office boy at a patent law firm, Crosby and Gould. Latimer had a talent for sketching, which led to him producing patent drawings. In 1874, along with W.C. Brown, Latimer co-invented and improved the train water closet, which was a bathroom compartment for railroad trains. Latimer also sketched designs for Alexander Graham Bell’s device: the telephone. He went on to work for the U.S. Electric Lighting Company owned by Hiram Maxim, which was a rival to Thomas Edison, who invented the electric light bulb. Latimer improved on Edison’s invention by encasing the filament within a cardboard envelope which prevented the carbon from breaking and providing a much longer life to the bulb and hence made the bulbs less expensive and more efficient. This enabled electric lighting to be installed within homes and throughout streets. Home Security System Marie Van Brittan was born in 1922 in Jamaica, Queens. She went into nursing and her husband, Albert was an electronics technician. The increase in crime in her neighborhood and her odd hours caused her great concern. Working with her husband, they created a home security system. One issue that both- ered Marie, was having to answer the door to identify a visitor. They came up with a

COURTESY PHOTO plan to attach a motorized Marie ande Albert Van Brittan camera to a cabinet added to the door. The camera moved up and down to take views through four separate peep holes: top hole for taller individuals and the low hole for smaller individuals. The other peep holes could capture any person between these two heights. A television monitor was placed in their bedroom with a radio-controlled wireless system to feed the images seen at the door back to the monitor. A two-way microphone also permitted conversation with the person at the door. A home- owner could push a button, which would sound an alarm to signal a security firm, a neighborhood watchman, or it could alert a nearby neighbor. There was also a button that would unlock the door remotely so a visitor could enter. The patent application was filed on August 1, 1966 under the names of Marie Van Brittan Brown and Albert L. Brown, both of 151-58 135th Avenue, Jamaica, New York. Lubricating Cup Elijah McCoy was born on May 2, 1844 in Colchester, Ontario. His parents were former slaves from Kentucky, who escaped through the Underground Railroad. George joined the Canadian Army, fighting in the Rebel War and then raised his family as free Canadian citizens on a 160-acre homestead. At an early age, McCoy showed a mechanical interest, often taking items apart and put- ting them back together COURTESY PHOTO again. His parents saved Elijah McCoy enough money to send him to Edinburgh, Scotland, where he could study mechanical engineering. He finished his studies as a “master mechanic and engineer” and returned to the United States at the end of the Civil War. Unable to find work as an engineer, he took a position as a fireman\oilman on the Michigan Central Railroad. As an oilman, McCoy kept the train lubricated. The trains would have to stop often to apply oil to the axles and bearings. In 1872, he developed a “lubricating cup” that could automatically drip oil when and where needed, which was a huge success. Other inventors had versions of the device but most companies wanted the authentic device, requesting “the Real McCoy.” A-6 LASENTINEL.NET OPINION THURSDAY,FEBRUARYTHURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 14, 2017 2019 • DR.
