was threaded through a parallel incision in the upper left hand corner of each sheet of paper. Obviously, this method was unsatisfactory since it entailed putting a permanent tear in
the paper. Pins and sealing wax were also employed for this purpose with highly unsatisfactory results (Heggelund page2.html). Finally in 1899, Johan
Vaaler of Lierfoss, Norway, a highly educated man with degrees in both science and mathematics, bent a wire into an ingenious shape and made the worlds first paperclip.
Since Norway had no patent laws at that time, Vaaler patented his invention in Germany (Heggelund page2.html). Vaaler was granted an American patent in
1901 (Heggelund page2.html). Around the same time, an American, William Middlebrook, received a patent on a machine to manufacture paperclips and the industry was off and running. Physical Description Paperclips
are made from thin wire or another material that has a natural elasticity or "spring"-quality to it, such as malleable plastic. As pointed out in Vaalers patent description, a paperclip
can be rectangular or triangular, but the shape will form a hoop at each end so that the end parts of the wire form "members or tongues lying side by
side in contrary directions" (Heggelund page2.html). To visualize the standard paperclip in more contemporary terms, imagine the wire that forms the clip as an extremely curvy road. It begins with
