Harry Maurice Dillow of Perry Hall, MD
He had the original idea, but wasn't sure it would work. He gave the company he worked for the idea. He would have been a billionaire if he quit and did it buy himself, but gave the idea to his company because he had 3 kids and a wife to take care of, and had fear of being homeless if he quit his job and the idea failed. So he was really the inventor of cable.
