As the legend goes, the Greek philosopher Archimedes discovered the principle of water displacement while getting into his bathtub. He proceeded to run naked through the streets of Syracuse shouting “Eureka!” Which of course sounds pretty crazy until you realize that “Eureka!” is actually Ancient Greek for “Help! My bathwater is too hot!” John Scott, the inventor of Cambertires, had one of those quintessential Eureka moments one day; that flash of brilliance that suddenly looks at the world sideways and generates an idea so simple and yet so deep that no one had ever thought of it before....
