Week 23's Fact or Fiction

Well done to those that said...

Fact Smile

:thumbs:

When brass wire paper fasteners were invented in the mid-1860s, George W. McGill recognized the need for a machine to insert the handy little gizmos. He produced such a device by 1866. However McGill's invention handled only one staple at a time. The first patent for a stapler that could hold a row of preformed staples was granted to William J. Brown Jr in 1887.

Julius Caesar revised the Roman calendar for political reasons, not to produce an accurate account of days and years.
