- Section of the Second Transatlantic Cable, 1865-1866 - Celebrations surrounding the installation of the 1858 transatlantic telegraph cable were short-lived. Three weeks after it was laid, it succeeded, faltered--and then failed. In 1866, a second cable was installed by the SS <em>Great Eastern</em>. This cable was more durable and able to send messages eighty times faster than the original.

- Transoceanic Voice Cables, circa 1956 - The opening of the TAT-1 (Transatlantic No. 1) cable in 1956 made it possible to place long-distance telephone calls across the Atlantic Ocean. Until this cable was installed, voice transmission over long distances occurred through an unreliable and expensive radio relay system. The TAT-1 responded to an increased demand for instant communication, establishing the first accessible international telephone service.

- Case Containing Sample Cables Evaluated for the First Transatlantic Telegraph, circa 1856 - This presentation case contains samples of the first transatlantic submarine communication cable of 1858. The staff of Glass, Elliot and Company possibly used these samples to demonstrate and evaluate the materials that allowed the wires to function. The company produced 1250 miles of cable for the first transatlantic cable, establishing international, near-instant, same-day communication and information sharing.

- Phillips 66 Automotive Battery Cables Sign, 1930-1950 - Phillips Petroleum Company was formed in 1917 by brothers Frank and Lee Phillips of Oklahoma. The company introduced its "Phillips 66" shield trademark in 1930 -- reportedly after testing a gasoline blend while traveling at 66 miles per hour along U.S. Highway 66. Phillips merged with Conoco in 2002, but the Phillips 66 brand continued to be used on some gas stations.
