Invented the stabilator?[edit]

Please provide evidence that Thorp invented the stabilator. --Coosbane (talk) 16:39, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've heard that for years, assuming its documentably true, it should be included here. But the only "evidence" I found was a book that said "Fred Weik credited John Thorp. . ." - I believe it, but it's not proof enough to suit me, and post it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.89.22.141 (talk) 16:50, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
