Percy Fitch was born in Orange County, California back in 1882 to James and Coralinn. Sorry but I don’t have any information as to his education or his early childhood. Of course, as always what I can tell you is the rest of the story.
Percy was an accomplished inventor, he received his most notable patents number 789,881 in 1903, number 1,087,552 in 1913, number 2,316,365 in 1925, number 1,767,699 in 1930 and number 2,497,559 in 1947. Now, you may be asking yourself what in the world did he invent? Well I’m so glad you did. For Percy Fitch Rice the inventions in order are: an automatic paper feeding device for printing presses, an automatic transmission for automobiles, the push-button radio tuner, the gasoline gauge for automobiles and a multiple exposure camera. He died in 1954..
