Hey, wow, are there a lot of sets in 1976 with inverse slopes? Are there any
in 1975?

The helicopter in the 386 Rescue Vehicles set contains at least a dozen
inverse slopes and another 18 slopes.  It also contains two interior corner
slopes.  Not sure what those are called, but they create a 90 degree turn.
The 371 also contains then but in blue.

Smaller amounts of inverse slopes can also be seen in sets:

370
387

Erling Thue Dideriksen and Jens Nygaard Knudsen are credited as the
inventors of the inverse slope, er, "toy building block for supplementing
existing block sets", in the Interlego patent filed May 23, 1975 in Denmark,
and filed a year later in the U.S.

All the sets mentioned above were available by 1976.  So they obviously
started using them right away.

This could be compared to the rollout of curve slopes in 2002. (22 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.1976, lugnet.year.1975)
