I'll lead with some interesting facts.
Back around 1888 a veterinarian was watching his son ride his bike on the cobblestone street in front of his practice, and a light went off in his head on how to make a softer ride for his kid. Having some sheets on rubber for his operating table, he cut a long strip and sewed it together using his skill as a doctor to make it air tight, and then to cover his *** he also glued over the stitches and glued on a valve stim and filled it with air, then wrapped the whole thing in canvas then applies liquid rubber to the whole thing again, born is the pneumatic tyre....... Thank you "Dr. Dunlop".

Also in 1888 this other man built a one HP horseless carriage, but not being a sales promoter and living where horses reigned, getting this to make money laid in the hands of what we should say was the 1st wife to borrow the car without asking her husband........ So Mrs Benz takes the HC on a 65 mile journey by herself to visit her Sister, and later uses her own money to get her husbands car on the market.

Another thing was when Mr Ford started the assembly line for manufacturing cars, he got the idea from and butcher warehouse that had an assembly line, not to assemble, but to disassemble pigs and cows. So Ford reversed that, which is now our cars being made on assembly lines.

If anyone has a story to add, plz feel free...........
