First Day of School by Norman Rockwell, The Saturday
Evening Post, September 14, 1935.

Norman Percevel Rockwell
(February 3, 1894 – November 8, 1978)

Nils Ivar Bohlin (July 17, 1920 – September 21, 2002)

Nils Bohlin, the Swedish engineer and inventor responsible
for the three-point lap and shoulder seatbelt–considered
one of the most important innovations in automobile safety,
was born in Härnösand, Sweden.

Before 1959, only the two-point lap belts were available in
automobiles; for the most part, the only people who regularly
buckled up were race car drivers.
