Misunderstanding, friend. I said innovator, not inventor. Here's some info-

“Harleys had roller lifters and I was impressed by that. I looked at the pros and cons and thought that a camshaft that could utilize these in a drag race car motor might produce a lot of power. I had this pal who was a hot rod circle track racer and he said to me, ‘Why don’t we build a circle car, you wrench and I drive?’ I said, ‘Okay, but I don’t want a flathead, everyone runs a flathead. I want an overhead valve engine, I want six carburetors, a 12-port head on a 6-cylinder Chevy, and I want to run what I’d call a roller cam.’”

It was 1949 when the first roller cam was manufactured for the performance automotive engine, and it was Chet Herbert Cams who designed and ground it.
