Not all Wyeth's became famous painters....
Nathaniel Wyeth invented the plastic soda bottle!
He was the brother of artist Andrew Wyeth and son of artist N.C. Wyeth.
Nathaniel attended the University of Pennsylvania and earned his degree in Mechanical Engineering.
He invented 25 processes and products over a 40 year period when he worked for the Du Pont Company.
Wyeth's most famous invention was the bottle he patented in 1973 made of a kind of polyester called polyethylene terephthalate or PET.
It was the first plastic container capable of holding carbonated beverages without either ballooning up like a basketball or letting the soda go flat, and soon became a familiar household item.

This is my final image for this gallery.
Too bad because I wanted to share more sites of the region in which I live ~ Brandywine Battlefield, Nemours, a mushroom house, downtown Kennett Square, etc....
I will plan to expand this gallery in another site in the very near future!
Many thanks to you all for you interest and comments on this gallery! :)
