Bill Killgallon was a college student when his father, William C. Killgallon, showed him the device developed by French electrician Andre Cassagnes and perfected by Ohio Art chief engineer Jerry Burger. The younger Killgallon later worked on the production line for the toy, twirling the nobs to test each unit by writing his name.
In the intervening years, some artists have been able to develop a remarkable proficiency with the device, using Etch A Sketches to create amazingly detailed drawings.
