I'm not sure whether there is one inventor. I tried to build a design
using it in 1986, I don't know whether anyone else's work predates that,
I assume that other people were doing the same thing elsewhere. It's
pretty much a derivative of the Dewey system which is about 200 years
old and, I think, has older ancestors.
