- A Piece of Machinery, Remington Rand, Inc., 1953 - George Devol was a problem solver and prolific inventor -- particularly in the area of automation. After the Second World War, Devol patented a magnetic control system -- a memory system for machines. With this reprogrammable system, manufacturers could "teach" a machine to perform repetitive tasks. Devol's innovation led to his most notable invention -- the first industrial robot.

- Transmission Master Gears Box - Internal combustion engines produce a limited range of speeds, but automobiles operate over a wide range of speeds. Gears modify the engine's speed to match the car's needs. For example, a low 3:1 gear ratio converts three turns of the engine crankshaft into one turn of the driven wheels. High gear, with a 1:1 ratio, matches the engine's speed with the wheels.
