The Tale of the Scale: An Odyssey of Invention Hardcover - 2004
by Solly Angel
In the mid-1980s, Solly Angel had a technological mini-vision. He saw in his mind's eye a quarter-inch thick personal scale weighing a pound--a travel scale--and he decided to make it a reality, to bring it to market. This is a rare first-person account of the process of invention and design as it unfolds in the remaking of the familiar bathroom scale.
First line
The road to Jerusalem was dark and wet.
