Summary

"Inventing for Boys" by A. Frederick Collins is an inspirational manual designed to unlock the inventive genius within young boys in the early 1900s. It argues that every boy has the capacity to invent, providing simple plans to stimulate creativity and turn ideas into realities. Collins highlights brainstorming as the seed of invention and shows how innovation springs from looking closely, trying new things, and even happy accidents. It underscores persistence as a critical ingredient for success and provides an overview of how to safeguard original ideas.

About the Author

Archie Frederick Collins, who generally went by A. Frederick Collins, was a prominent early American experimenter in wireless telephony and prolific author of books and articles covering a wide range of scientific and technical subjects. His reputation was tarnished in 1913 when he was convicted of mail fraud related to stock promotion. However, after serving a year in prison, he returned to writing, including, beginning in 1922, The Radio Amateur's Handbook, which continued to be updated and published until the mid-1980s.
