Edison's Invention of the Phonograph

On February 19, 1878, Thomas Edison was awarded U.S. Patent
No. 200,521 for
his invention—the phonograph.

The technology that made the modern music business possible
came into existence in the
New Jersey laboratory where Edison
created the first device to both record sound and play it back.

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"

PENCIL WITH ERASER PATENT ON THIS DAY

Georgia History ED 213 timeline | Timetoast timelines
Hymen L. Lipman (1817-1893)


(FOXNEWS) – Philadelphia inventor
Hymen L. Lipman rushed
heroically to the aid of mistake-prone schoolchildren, artists
and draftsmen everywhere when he secured the patent for the
pencil with eraser on this day in history, March 30, 1858.
 

"Be it known that I, Hymen L. Lipman, of Philadelphia, in the
county of Philadelphia and
State of Pennsylvania, have
invented a new and useful Lead-Pencil and Eraser;" the
visionary wrote in his patent application.

"I make a lead-pencil in the usual manner, reserving about
one-fourth of the length, in which I make a groove of suitable
size … and insert in this groove a piece of prepared India
rubber (or other erasive substance) secured to said pencil
by being glued at one edge."

The eraser, he noted in his application, "is particularly valuable 
for removing or erasing lines, figures, etc., and not subject to
be soiled or mislaid on the table or desk" — as if the purpose
of an eraser was unknown to mid-19th century consumers.
