Loor is an actual word, if a bit antiquated. It means praise or hymn.

Thanks to Google Patents, it has become a lot easier to find old US ones!

It names a co-inventor.

Also, her British one: http://v3.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/originalDocument?CC=GB&NR=190617183A&KC=A&FT=D&date=19070718&DB=EPODOC&locale=en_EP

Images aren’t available for her Canadian one, but it was certainly issued.

She seemed to be a most brilliant woman, thinking like an engineer. What woman in the 1920´s would get credit for their work in any other way than to promote themselves?

Question: is there anyway to get a copy of this book?

Now that woman definitely looks as though she’s headed a revolution or two!:)) Wonder if she’s the one responsible for peasant tops n skirts!:)) I agree Kathleen, not a bad sleeve cap.

Acme? ACME?!!! Any possibility she canoodled with a canid and produced Wile E. of Warner Brothers’ Roadrunner cartoon fame?

This would explain so much. I did like her ruler.

Why do I suddenly feel like singing EVITA!?

I came from the people
They need to adore me
So Christian Dior me
>From my head to my toes
I need to be dazzling
I want to be Rainbow High!
They must have excitement
And so must I…

I’m their savior!
That’s what they call me
So Lauren Bacall me
Anything goes
To make me fantastic
I have to be Rainbow High
In magical colors–

That “statue” could easily hold tequila bottles . Then we can easily understand what the woman was trying to say. Pretty funny stuff.

I forgot to mention that the statue depicted in the “Republica Acmista” is holding tape measures in each hand.

And you guys think I’m bad. I could be worse. Much worse.
