Being able to unravel and analyze the findings of others was a rare attribute of university Professor Craig Kennedy. He coupled this with use of various gadgets and devices that were commonplace in the early twentieth century. They seem primitive by much of todayβs standard equipment but were actual forerunners to what are matter-of-fact equipment, enhanced and extended in the present day. His ability to analyze his findings resulted in the well-earned recognition of βthe Scientific Detective.β He was always accompanied by young newspaper reporter Walter Jameson, who kept tabs on plot details. Their combination resulted in many comparisons of the teamwork of Dr. Watson with the renowned fictional investigator Sherlock Holmes.
