1 / 10 | On October 10, 1865, John Wesley Hyatt submitted his patent for a piece of sporting equipment. These items used to be made from ivory, which was scarce, so as a substitute, Hyatt and his brother came up with ‘Celluloid’. They were the first to identify the value of adding camphor to cellulose nitrate. Although celluloid was manufactured for that sport, it became widely used to make guitar picks, combs and as a part of table tennis. What sport is this that uses 22 items made of celluloid, of which one is white, 15 are red and 6 are in other colours?
