THE INCREDIBLE INVENTION OF THE PLASTICINE

• Inventor: James Wright, engineer in General Electric.

• What he was trying to do: During World War II, the US government needed glue for airplanes, soldiers' boots and other similar things. Wright was trying to make a substitute made of silicone, as it was a fairly available material.
