- Blake Hayes with a Model of Firestone Barn Used during Its Reconstruction in Greenfield Village, May 1985 - In 1983, Greenfield Village acquired the Firestone family's 19th-century farmhouse and barn in eastern Ohio. After careful documentation and disassembly, workers shipped the structures' original components to Dearborn, Michigan. There, craftsmen recreated architectural elements of the barn that had been replaced or drastically altered over the years, made repairs, and reconstructed the building in time for its dedication on June 29, 1985.

- Reactance Coil, Used at Hammond Radio Research Laboratory, 1915-1920 - John Hays Hammond, Jr., is considered "the father of radio control." In 1926, he built a medieval-inspired castle in Gloucester, Massachusetts, as his home and research laboratory. With 400 patents to his name, Hammond developed radio control, autopilot function, and targeted missile detonation. A reactance coil is an inductor, blocking high-frequency AC power, allowing low-frequency DC power to pass.

- Sheaf Fork - Pitchforks worked as extensions of farmers' arms, allowing them to skewer, lift, and move larger quantities of hay, sheaves of grain, or straw than they could do with just their hands. They used different fork designs for different jobs. Two- and three-tine forks like this (with short metal points) worked best to pitch bundles of grain from field to wagon to thresher.
