Timeline Boob Tube
Television was not invented by a single inventor, instead many people working together and alone, contributed to the evolution of television.
For example in 1877, Boston civil servant George Carey put forward drawings for what he called a "selenium camera" that would allow people to "see by electricity." Another example in 1924/25, American Charles Jenkins and John Baird from Scotland, each demonstrate the mechanical transmissions of images over wire circuits.

Reader Mail - Golf Tees, Penicillin, & Jetliners
Gerard wrote me with an interesting question. Gerald was trying to find out the name of an item used before the modern wooden golf tee. Homemade tees were made of water, sand, and a small cup. Gerald wanted to know the name of the small cup. If anybody knows please leave a comment. Illustration: Patent Drawing provided by USPTO
The Miracle of Penicillin
Mark wrote me with the following first hand experience; Mark's wife Judith was prescribed penicillin in 1951, just three years after the mass production of penicilian became available in 1948. Mark commented that my article on Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin did not mention what year Hodgkin's contribution of the X-ray structural analysis of penicillin took place. Mark on May 25, 1948, Andrew Moyer was granted a patent for a method of the mass production of penicillin, that gives us the 1948 date. I did not mention the dates of Hodgkin's work which would have aided Moyer's invention. However, I did link to several external articles. One states that "her discovery happened during World War II." And another states, "Hodgkin was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1947 after publishing the structure of penicillin." That gives us a good ballpark date.
Early Jetliner
Jason I agree with you and thanks for the correction about James Floyd. He did not invent the first jetliner, he designed the first commercial jetliner to fly in North America. And he was born in the U.K. and later became a Canadian citizen. Thanks for the heads up.

Glass has been used for various kinds of bottles and utensils, mirrors, windows and more. It is thought to have been first created around 3000 BC, during the bronze age.
Did you know that...
...the first contact lenses were made of glass, and made in 1888? Adolph Fick first thought of making glass contact lenses in 1888, but it took until 1948 when Kevin Tuohy invented the soft plastic lens, for contacts to become a reality. photo credit: Stock.xchng
