The cat eye road studis one of the greatest inventions of the last century. Why do you say that? Because the cat eye road stud can prompt the driver’s direction at night and prevent the driver from hitting the curb. And the cat eye road stud is just a rudiment of modern road stud.
With the passage of time and the development of science and technology, cat eye road studs gradually developed into a variety of forms: from the beginning of glass road studs, plastic road studs to solar road studs, aluminum road studs. These road stud products are installed on the road, greatly reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents and ensuring the safety of people’s lives.
How did the night elf cat eye road stud appear? Now I want to introduce the origin of cat eye road stud. One night in 1933, engineer Percy Shaw drove home. He relaxed his vigilance and felt sleepy. It was dark all around, creating an atmosphere suitable for sleeping. Xiao’s eyes were suddenly disturbed by a light. So this is a cat’s eye! He quickly braked and got out of the car to check, and then found a straight turning cliff ahead.
There was no such thing as a cat eye road studat that time. Percy Shaw looked around and saw no warning signs. Fortunately, he met a cat today and saved my life. He thought and found that according to the light emitted by the cat eye, the cat eye road stud can be made and installed on the road to indicate the direction.
The invention of cat eye road stud was successful. The next year, in 1934, Xiao registered a patent for cat eye road stud.
