Suitcase Wheels
July 9th, 2010
What took so long for suitcase wheels?
This change happened just before my lifetime. How long did the suitcase and the wheel exist as two separate entities? I think it's mind boggling that we conquered space travel before we put wheels on suitcases, if anything it would have helped them load up.
I mean what did the room of prototypes look like? Just loads of suitcases with pyramids on the bottom?
They had suitcases on wheels back in the sixties. They also had leashes on them.
"Heel, suitcase, heel. Good suitcase." feeds it a pair of socks as a treat...
