- Glidden's "Winner" (Common Variation) Barbed Wire, Patented 1874 - Inventors received hundreds of patents for barbed wire during the late 1800s. Some innovators created strands of fencing with sharp metal points cut into the wire; others incorporated small wire spurs twisted and attached to the wire to create a painful barrier.

- Wood Engraving, Steam Carriages for Common Roads, circa 1848 - British inventor Goldsworthy Gurney built a series of self-propelled steam carriages in the 1820s. Although successful technologically -- one of Gurney's carriages made the 100-mile trip from London to Bath at an average speed of 15 miles per hour -- the vehicles failed commercially. The growing British railroad network and pressure from horse-carriage interests forced Gurney out of business.
