- Flying Shuttle Loom, circa 1931 - This loom, made in Greenfield Village in the early 1930s, has a special attachment--a flying shuttle. Developed in the 1730s, the flying shuttle dramatically increased weavers' output. This device allowed weavers to send the shuttle, which carries the thread, back and forth using only one hand. With a flying shuttle, weavers could produce wider, better-quality cloth more quickly and with less effort.

- Experimental Wright Glider Flying, 1900 - Before the Wright brothers' famous first flight in a powered, heavier-than-air craft, they experimented with piloted gliders. This image of their first design in flight-testing as a kite is one of only three existing photographs of the 1900 glider. Kiting the glider provided valuable performance information that could be incorporated into redesign and helped the brothers prepare for piloted flight.
