    It's kinda depressing that this inventive, intelligent man went out the way he did.
    Bitten by bugs in a hoard with a retard and a moocher.
    I know he wasn't a saint - who is? - but Mr. C deserved better.

    Pretty impressive resume that old Bob had. I wonder if in 1956 he ever thought his life would end up the way it did.

    If GE hadn't transferred Bob to Charlottesville he may have never been drunkenly accosted by Barb. We owe General Electric our gratitude for making Chris possible

    I can't wait until Chris posts memorabilia detailing Barb's achievements.

    Did Bob not get any royalties for the patents?

    Barb spent it all on the hoard and legal fees from assaulting Michael Snyder

    Probably not, when you work for a company or gov often they hold the rights. To be fair, you know this when you sign on and you are using their tools/time etc to make the discovery.
    there's a reason I grew up in hand me downs and my dad helped invent something many people see/use daily
    That was his nest egg, not royalties.

    Usually if you invent something while working at a company and it’s used for the company, the company gives you a one time bonus, but all royalties and the patent belongs to the company, not the person.

    That WAS the GE I knew, long before selling out. I'm guessing some Chinese outfit badges the logo all over their stuff these days.

    End of an era right there.

    That's what happens when you deal with companies like that. You don't really get a say in it after you sell it.
