Yep, the Maxim gun as it was called.  He made a fortune on that.

Yes he did and his dad also invented a machine gun. I had that on my 140th birthday card for him for the special event.

We have been looking at associations with similar fundamentals to ours to see what they are doing and what we can learn.

 

As a part of that, one team member came across this article about Maxim in NRA’s magazine, and there is a response to the piece in a subsequent issue.

 

Both pieces are attached.

 

I had no idea that Maxim invented a silencer for firearms as well as mufflers for automobiles!

 

Enjoy.
