- Dynastat Magnetic Memory Drum, 1962 - George Devol was a problem solver and prolific inventor -- particularly in the area of automation. After the Second World War, Devol patented a magnetic control system -- a memory system for machines. With this reprogrammable system, manufacturers could "teach" a machine to perform repetitive tasks. Devol's innovation led to his most notable invention -- the first industrial robot.
