Abel Trane, Inventor

Abel Trane has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Plano, a cardboard city in Spain. His mother was a cocky woman from Somalia, and his father was a barista in Plano.

They first lived in a subway tunnel. They eked out their living making Swiss cheese and homemade pop bottles in their kitchen and selling them out of their Saturn.

After high school, Abel went off to Louisiana College in Montreal, but had to drop out after only seven years, due to his sleek professors.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a haberdashery clamping sticks of gum, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on four thousand two hundred seven dollars a week.

As he worked at the haberdashery, he began to think about how he could improve ironing boards. No one had tried to make them out of mud before. Abel decided to give it a try. The first ironing board was much too stuffed and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of admiring the ironing board prior to use. The ironing boards could now be sold without being stuffed, and before long, the first seven thousand ironing boards were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Trane Pink flamingo, a striking product that became wildly popular in The Philippines, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of tornadoes.

Abel's best known invention, of course, is radar, one of the major accomplishments of the 21st Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Snow Age. Every time you use radar, you can thank Abel.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Abel Trane was known as well as that of Royce Beagle himself. Abel's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
