The story
On his wedding night in 1953, an errant champagne cork renders Detroit college engineering professor Robert Kearns almost completely blind in his left eye.
The incident inspires him to create a wiper blade mechanism modeled on the human eye, which blinks every few seconds rather than continuously.
Kearns refuses to explain how his mechanism works until he hammers out a favorable deal with the corporation.
