\"In 1935, William Hamilton Albee, then teacher living in a small Eskimo village in the Bering Strait can observe his friends Eskimos hoisting a boat loaded of 4 tons of meat on the shore with several bottles \[bags?--- ED\] of sealskin sewn and swollen under the boat. They shoot to the top of the slope without difficulty despite the gravel and stones.\
\
In 1951, William Albee, now in Carmel, California, begins a modern adaptation of Eskimos bags. It develops nylon impregnated rubber 'bags', very flexible, can be deformed but not extensible. After many consultations, it is ultimately the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, which agreed to manufacture them on plans designed by Albee.\
