Discovering The
Slinky
In 1943 a marine engineer, Richard James
accidentally dropped a tension spring from a meter used to test
battleship horsepower. The spring "walked" across the
floor, and it made a charming noise too.
James thought it would make a great toy and two years later, the first
400 were on the market at Christmas time.
The slinky recently celebrated its 60th birthday. Today, kids still
like them, and adults use them as stress relievers as they pass them
from hand to hand.
