    J Edgar? Nope he died in 1972. I don't think the vacuum cleaner was named for a person, but No anyway.

    The invention was put into production in 1947 and remains the same today, although to be accurate, there are updated versions. But the original design is still manufactured worldwide and sought after.

    It would be difficult to obtain this invention in New Zealand. It can be used to bring about change. The inventor wished he'd made a lawnmower.

    He lived by the sword, and it served him well, he killed and captured many with it in hand, he walked over 220kms in a week when he got away from his enemy who had captured him. It was said he loved violence, which would explain his love of the scottish wind instrument of torture.
