Marcon's Radio Transmission
Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937) was an Italian inventor and physicist. In 1895, Marconi promoted and popularized the radio (wireless telegraphy), building machinery to transmit and receive radio waves. His first transmission across an ocean (the Atlantic Ocean) was on December 12, 1901. Marconi won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1909.

Vacuum Cleaner
Hubert Cecil Booth was born in Gloucester, England.
Booth decided to test his idea by placing a handkerchief over a cushioned chair and sucking on it hard. He of course started choking at the dust that he sucked in, but when he turned over the hanky, it was filthy from the dust that had been trapped in it.

ASSEMBLY LINE
Primitive assembly line production was first used in 1901 by Ransome Eli Olds (1864-1950), an early car-maker (he manufactured the Oldsmobile, the first commercially successful American car). Henry Ford (1863-1947) used the first conveyor belt-based assembly-line in his car factory in 1913-14 in Ford's Highland Park, Michigan plant. This type of production greatly reduced the amount of time taken to put each car together (93 minutes for a Model T) from its parts, reducing production costs. Assembly lines are now used in most manufacturing processes.

Lionel Model Trains

Joshua Lionel Cowen was an inventive guy and had always been very interested in trains. In 1901, he fitted a small motor under a model of a railroad flatcar, powered by a battery on 30 inches of track and the Lionel electric train was born. The first Lionel train was designed to attract window-shopping New Yorkers using the power of animated display. Since its humble beginning Lionel has sold more than 50 million train sets and today produces more than 300 miles of track each year.

The paper clip was patented by Norwegian inventor Johan Vaaler in 1899. Because Norway had no patent law at the time, he had to travel to Germany where he received his patent in 1900. His U.S. Patent was granted in 1901.

The korfball was invented in Amsterdam. But I can't say that it fascinated people, so I guess I give up here. It is a mixed sex game. That could be fascinating. Soccer/basketball for all genders.

’Everything that can be invented, has been invented.’

So proclaimed Charles H. Duell, United States Patent Commissioner in 1889.

All that, and nobody thought to open a Pizza Hut until 1958! What were they thinking!

1901 Marconi picks up the first transatlantic radio signal

Guglielmo Marconi, waiting at a wireless receiver in St. John’s, Newfoundland, picks up the first transatlantic radio signal, transmitted some 2,000 miles from a Marconi station in Cornwall, England. To send the signal—the three dots of the Morse letter "s"—Marconi’s engineers send a copper wire aerial skyward by hoisting it with a kite. Marconi builds a booming business using radio as a new way to send Morse code
