History of Frisbees
Frisbee is the most common name for flying discs, which are generally plastic, roughly 20 to 25 centimeters
(8 10 in) in diameter, with a lip. They are designed to fly aerodynamically when thrown with rotation and can be
caught by hand. The name Frisbee is a term is often used generically (and erroneously) to describe all versions
of the flying disc.
A wide range of Frisbee (flying Discs) variants are available commercially.
Disc golf discs are usually smaller but denser and are tailored for particular flight profiles to
increase/decrease stability and distance. When it was discovered that dogs enjoyed chasing and retrieving the slow-moving discs, special discs were designed
Frisbie Baking Company
Believe it or not a pie company in Bridgeport, Connecticut is responsible for the invention of the Frisbee. A man by the name of William Russell Frisbie decided to open a bakery in the 1870’s. He wanted this bakery to be a homemade pie bakery, so he had to decide the type of container he would use for the pies.
William bought pie plates that were made out of tin and had the name of the bakery embossed on the bottom. This was the beginning of an invention that would be a part of history. History does not mention if children in
Frisbie s era played with the pie pans by sailing them in the air. But, in the mid 1940 s, Yale University students would use the empty pie tins to toss between themselves. The campus was not far from the Frisbie Baking Company.
The Frisbie Baking Company also had locations throughout the region.
Walter Frederick Morrison
The history of the Frisbee continues with a man by the name of Walter Frederick Morrison,
who believe it or not had an interest in exploring the concept of flying saucers.
Flying saucers were a reality for Morrison. He would contemplate in his mind the idea of alien life and the
possibility of the aliens visiting earth and other planets.
During the 1950 s, filmmakers were capturing this idea and creating on film.
He wanted to give his concept of flying saucers more publicity and exposure so he made a lightweight
metal toy disk.
