The First Toilet paper...
Hi everyone,our today's post is going to be about first toilet paper. You can think that, is it very important to know about the toilet paper? Yes it is very important one... Because we are using it daily in our life. So it is important to know about it.
Joseph Gayetty invented toilet paper in 1857. His new toilet paper was composed of flat sheets. Before Gayetty's invention, people tore pages out of mail order catalogs - before catalogs were common, leaves were used. Unfortunately, Gayetty's invention failed. Walter Alcock (of Great Britain) later developed toilet paper on a roll ( instead of in flat sheets). Again, the invention failed.
In 1867, Thomas, Edward and Clarence Scott (brothers from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) were successful at marketing toilet paper that consisted of a small roll of perforated paper . They sold their new toilet paper from a push cart - this was the beginning of the Scott Paper Company.
Thus i think that you have got some essential info about the first invented toilet papers. See you in next post with different info. Until then its bye from Monterines...
The First Teabag...
From this site, you all are getting a lot of information about many, first invented things and also about the persons who invented it. And our today's post is about the first invented "Tea bag". Tea bags were invented by Thomas Sullivan around 1908. The first bags were made from silk. Sullivan was a tea and coffee merchant in New York who began packaging tea sample in tiny silk bags, but many customers brewed the tea in them (the tea-filled bag was placed directly into the boiling water where the tea brewed, instead of the traditional way of brewing loose tea in a teapot). Later tea bags were made of thin paper. Thus i think that you have got a lot of info about the first invented teabag. In our next post we will see about the invention of different items...
The First Apgar scale...
Hi everyone, our today’s post is about the Apgar scale that is used to determine the physical status of an infant at birth. This simple, easy-to-perform test was devised in 1953 by Dr. Virginia Apgar (1909-1974), a professor of anesthesia at the New York Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. The Apgar scale is administered to a newborn at one minute after birth and five minutes after birth. It scores the baby's heart rate, respiration, muscle tone, reflex response, and color. This test quickly alerts medical personnel that the newborn needs assistance.
Thus I think that you have known something about the Apgar scale… Let’s something different in our next post…
