My father was a chemist in the rubber products development field. He invented and patented a new dual durometer roller compound that worked perfect in water. It revolutionized the roller industry. Made my fathers boss a millionaire several times over. MG is his initials but after he cleared and banked his first million he celebrated his success. It was all my dad's work but when you worked for company any compounds developed in house is the owners by contract. Back to the story. He went out and bought a Brand New ZO6 VETTE and got three tickets the first night he had it. The last was a DUI and he was driving like bat outta hell.
The guy cornered the market with that compound. His business had 3 divisions right there behind that old feed store down from Betties Hot dogs. He rebuilt rollers, he milled new rollers from raw steel and my dad was the Top dog in the compounding part called US Elastomer. Sister co. To Diamond roller and the other Co. I can't recall the name. My dad laughed about that for years. MG was a good guy and respected and loved my dad. MG put my dad first on the patent and MG was listed as co-founder. Not many company owners would have done that for their employee. They would have hogged all the credit for themselves and cut the founder or the Creator completely out. He paid my father very, very, very well.
