In this episode I explore the history of Kalamazoo's extraordinary inventor Jay B. Rhodes using the book written by author Cynthia Jeffrey. Rhodes in his day was referred to as the 'Kalamazoo Edison' and the 'Patent King' as he filed over 230 patents in his lifetime. The impact from his inventions impacted a range of industries including world events.
