______ In 1943, marine engineer Richard James was working in a shipyard, trying to develop springs that could support and stabilize sensitive marine instruments. After accidentally knocking one of the steel springs from a shelf, he watched in amazement as it did not merely fall, but rather "stepped" down from a stack of books, to a tabletop, and then to the floor, where it coiled itself back up. James immediately saw the toy's potential, and his wife, Elizabeth, named it the "Slinky" after searching the dictionary for a word that described the spring's sleek, fluid movement.
