In first working out thetoof the brain along the draftsman's line shi+fts it away fro frequently shows the necessity of change in general scheme, but that is only one of the after-steps

The funda-point, andthe very frail thread of thought

A clear view of the scheme is not to be obtained on demand The schemer must wait in patience, as the astronomer waits for steady air, and, like the astronomer, he must have every facility in shi+pshape The clear view is only clear to the watching eye

Inventive schemes cannot be forced by strenuous effort Such effort iven type, but never would have invented the DeLaval or Tesla turbine

It is not reat work that has been done in ireat work that reatest debt for progress in material wealth

Furthermore, it is a phase that must be considered in connection with every invention before that invention can become of value to any one But just noeout the fundamental ideas of a mechanical scheme

The clear view of a ht's rest, particularly if the schemer has retired with the problem in mind There are times when invention comes under severe stress, hard physical work, and mental anxiety, but the most usual time is after a sleep which refreshed s his sche board, to patent office, to factory, and to the ning by the Square Foot

The ordinary work of rouped to acco approaching the best,--such designing is like painting a fence, so many square feet of paper should be covered per day But the real higher type of work cannot be ht, the close application, the keen interest, and the co by the square foot is, however, a good preparation, and ood brain has been developed by such work

The har is an after-process which must be worked out by a series of compromises after the various component elements have been almost independently considered
