Her most famous invention was a machine that made flat-bottomed paper bags, which we still use today.

What Mattered More: Perspiration or Inspiration?

Margaret Knight’s success came from perspiration. She spent years refining her designs, creating models, and defending her ideas from less creative minds. While she had creative ideas, her determination and problem-solving skills were key to her success.

Facts about her

She was born on September 28, 1887, and died on February 1, 1973.

Born in Raleigh, North Carolina

She was known as "Lady Edison"

About her inventions

She made the potograph and it was a typographical device that produced an original and four typewritten copies without carbon paper.

She also made the Kiddie clock that helps kids learn to tell time.

One of her other inventions is the Miss Illusion doll, which has eyes that change colors when you click a button.

Either she was inspiration or hard work

She said she's crediting her inventiveness to inspiration. She had all the ideas she wanted to do in her head. But she had to do some hard work. It was when she was describing her ideas clearly enough to enable a model maker to reproduce each device as she envisioned it. But she mostly used inspiration in her work.

He was born in Owatonna, Minnesota in 1931.

He graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1955 with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering.

He was a technician at 3M Corp. for 40 years.

Three Facts About His Invention:

He got the idea for the Post-It Note in 1974. While singing in his church choir, he grew frustrated that the paper bookmarks he used would always fall out of his hymnal.

The back of the Post-It Note is a layer of microspecies that was created by his co-worker, Spencer Silver.

In 1977, the removable notes were released in four cities under the name "Press 'n Peel".

What Mattered More? Inspiration or Perspiration?

I think that Perspiration mattered more with Arthur L. Fry's invention of the Post-It Note. They had to figure out the right equipment to make the notes. It took years to perfect the design of the note and find ways to make the microsphere stay on the sticky note.
