I constantly do that sort of thing, as I think everybody does from time to time. As a matter of fact, not many people remember much about Koss; I don't know that he did much beyond the headphones anyway. The Pro-4 was certainly ahead of its time, but after that, Koss seemed to slip behind the state-of-the-art technology in headphones. Henry Kloss, on the other hand, was well known in many circles for pioneering in different areas. Henry was more of an "innovator" than inventor in most of his endeavors.--Tom Tyson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest russwollman Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Ahem.Let us not forget Felix Mulvaney, the first man to record the belch of an owl.His initials have been immortalized, of course, in the radio frequency band which is designated "FM".Mad Magazine printed this obscure reference many years ago. It is undoubtedly true, though known by only a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
