Water Displacement, 40th attempt. That’s the
name straight out of the lab book used by the chemist Norm Larsen when
he developed WD-40 back in 1953. Norm was attempting to concoct a
formula to prevent corrosion, a task which is done by displacing water.
Norm’s persistence paid off when he perfected the formula on his 40th try.
