About

Elmer Clinton Adolph Berger (12 August 1891 – 15 July 1952) was an inventor born in St. Louis, Missouri who is credited with the invention of the automotive rear-view mirror in the early 1900s. Although racing enthusiast Ray Harroun experimented with one as early as 1911 while driving in the Indianapolis 500, it was Elmer Berger who obtained the first patent in 1921. Through his Berger and Company he manufactured the rear-view mirror for automobile use. He named his device the "COP-SPOTTER."
