The inventions are a bed rack by Henrietta Bradberry, improvements in the dough kneader and roller by Judy W. Reed, and the cabinet bed by Sara E. Goode. The documents were produced by the Black Science Activity Books. The documents are affixed to the board with red and black tape and the board is edged in red tape.
