...return to laboratory and workbench. As a youngster at Groton, school for rich men's sons, Charlie Lawrance neglected his language classes in favor of mathematics, started building an automobile. As a Yale freshman in 1901 he and a class mate and a Harvard friend completed the car and drove it-the second ever seen in Cambridge, Mass.

In 1891 Perry, a trainman of the New York Central, longed for luxurious living. One night he sawed his way into his train's money car, overpowered the guard, and while the train was still in motion crawled back out through the hole with enough loot for six riotous months in the West.
