We use umbrellas, Raincoats and even we buy water proof bags and wallets; but, have you ever thought of an inventor who had invented this amazing measure to prevent ourselves from rain.
All these coats and jackets are manufactured by breathable fabrics like- Gore-Tex and Nylons.
Inventor of waterproof garments 'Charles Macintosh' was born on 29th December, 250 years ago. Macintosh implemented his idea to mix two pieces of fabric with dissolved rubber and produced new kind of fabric. The process was initiated on 1823.
On every 29th of December google publish a 'Doodle standing in the rain and testing his invention' as its icon of search engine to honor Macintosh's invention.
