In addition to inventing,
Everett Huckel Bickley (1888-1972) was active during World War II as a
$1.00 A Year Man (a corporate executive who donated his time and expertise
to the government’s war-planning efforts). He was also a member
of the National Inventors Council, which reviewed war-related invention
ideas. This drawings document one of his World War II-era innovations,
perhaps drawn for presentation to the National Inventors Council.
