- 1917 Ford Model T Touring Car - While the Ford Model T never had any major design changes over its 19-year production run, there were numerous small modifications along the way. Some, like the 1913 switch from cowhide to imitation leather interior, cut costs. Others, like the 1915 introduction of electric headlamps, incorporated technological improvements. The sleeker radiator and hood of 1917 were small concessions to style.

- L. Miller & Son Store Display of Hinges, 1923-1928 - Louis Miller, a Russian Jewish immigrant to Chicago, started and operated L. Miller & Son hardware. A highlight of his store (located in an East European immigrant neighborhood) was an elaborate and extensive tool and hardware display that literally showcased the store's stock: not only great salesmanship but also a benefit to customers with a language barrier.

- Cycloidal Engine, circa 1805 - Inventors tried a variety of different designs for steam engines after James Watt's patents expired in 1800. The builders of this engine developed a clever system of gears to turn the engine's up and down motion into the rotary motion. The complex planetary or cycloidal gearing eliminated the great beam used by Watt and others, and produced a compact engine.
