Summary: 



Regarding the drunk inventor query - yes it was Henry Kuttner's (and possibly
C L Moore's) Ghalleger (sp?). However, it would be hard to pin down the
story as some people have tried, because there were several Ghalleger
stories, enough for a book in fact. At least some of the stories did appear
in Astounding (before it became Analog).  The book was called
_Robots_Have_No_Tails and might be credited to Lewis Padgett (one of Kuttner
and Moore's many pseudonyms); I haven't seen in in print lately, but it
makes for nice light reading if you  can find it.  If you can't, then I
two of the Ghalleger stories ("The Proud Robot" and "Time Locker" (where
Kuttner renders the name wrong ) )are in the classic _Adventures_in_Time_and_
Space_ anthology (McComas & Healy eds) which should be available at any 
decent library (you should really get a copy yourself for that matter ,
imagine being able to put together an anthology before the field was picked
clean).
