About Arthur William Savage
- Arthur William Savage (May 13, 1857 – September 22, 1938), was a businessman, inventor, and explorer.
- He is most famous for inventing the Savage Model 99 lever-action rifle, which remained in production for over 100 years, and founding Savage Arms.
- However, his most lasting and valuable inventions may be radial tires, and it has been argued, the modern detachable box magazine used in almost all modern military firearms.
- He also invented an early torpedo and built and raced cars.
