The 'Cool' Invention
One story we have to share:
Sackett & Wilhelms, a printing company in New York, was having trouble with the printing of a magazine. The humidity in the printing plant had put the delivery schedule at risk. The problem was presented to a young engineer, Willis Carrier, who solved it with an innovative solution.
In the process, Willis Carrier started the air-conditioning industry that changed the world.
A good example of how a specific need can lead to the creation of an entire industry.
