Excerpt from History of the Dudlo Manufacturing Company
George A. Jacobs was a native of Dudley, Massachusetts and a graduate of Worcester Polytechnic Institute. In 1906 he was a promising figure at Sherwin Williams, the great paint industry, when he conceived an idea which demanded attention.
In 1906 several large companies were already coating heavier wire with enamel. However, this veneer cracked and peeled in a manner most frustrating to both manufacturers and consumers. By this time the auto mobile industry was established and growing. It needed durably insulated fine wire to produce and carry the spark which gave life to gasoline engines. George A. Jacobs contemplated an enamel which would effectively insulate the finer strands of electrical wiring. For three years this indefatigable investigator devoted all the time he could spare to experimentation. The reward for his zeal was the production of a liquid mixture which made obsolete the tedious processes of winding fine wire with cotton fabric. This research was largely on exercise in observations based upon an almost endless series of trial and error.
