Black History Moment: Charles B. Brooks (1865-1956)
Charles B. Brooks was an American inventor, who is best known for his patented improvements to the street sweeper in 1896. His version of the street sweeper improved the self-propelled front-brush sweeper. The most notable of these improvements was the introduction of a “receiving-pan,” which collected the swept dirt, carried it along a belt, and dumped it into a receptacle. The patent also detailed adjustments to the front brushes which made them of different lengths, and had a scraper for use with snow and ice.
