Safer Stop and Go: Garrett Morgan’s Traffic Signal Legacy | FHWA

On November 20, 1923, the U.S. Patent Office grants Patent No.
1,475,074
to 46-year-old inventor and newspaperman Garrett
Morgan for his three-position traffic signal. Though Morgan’s
was not the first traffic signal (that one had been installed in
London in 1868), it was an important innovation nonetheless:

By having a third position besides just “Stop” and “Go,”
it regulated crossing vehicles more safely than earlier
signals had.

Morgan also invented a "safety hood smoke protection device"

NUREMBERG TRIALS BEGAN ON THIS DAY


Hermann Göring under cross-examination.

Twenty-four high-ranking Nazis went on trial in Nuremberg,
Germany, for atrocities committed during
World War II 
beginning on November 20, 1945.

The Nuremberg trials were conducted by an international
tribunal made up of representatives from the United States,
the
Soviet Union, France and Great Britain. It was the first
trial of its kind in history, and the defendants faced charges
ranging from crimes against peace, to crimes of war, to crimes
against humanity. Lord Justice Geoffrey Lawrence, the British
member, presided over the proceedings, which lasted 10 months
and consisted of 216 court sessions.
