xcounters.com Biographies P. B. Downing Not much is known about P. B. Downing, but his mailbox, patented in 1891 is still in use. You can recognize it as the small, cast-iron, red-white-and-blue box that is usually found mounted to a pole or wall. To open it requires lifting a small, fairly heavy cover that closes rather firmly when let go. While the cover is open, a metal plate is engaged inside the box that prevents access to the box's interior. - Bill Clearlake - Back Lewis H. Latimer Edison had been trying in vein to find a filament that would burn long enough to make an electric lamp feasable for general use. Lewis Latimer developed the carbon filament that made the Edison Lamp commercially viable. Lewis Latimer wrote the first textbook on the Edison Company's lighting systems. Lewis Latimer has many patents to his credit, as well has having designed the lighting systems for the cities of New York, Paris, and London. Latimer was one of the few African-American inventors to achieve a fair measure of fame and considerable wealth in his lifetime. - The Afro-American Inventor, C. R. Gibbs, pub. C. R. Gibbs, 1975 -
