Display of a Woman Spinning Thread with a Distaff at the New York Museum of Science and Industry, 1936-1960
- "Cugnot's Engine, 1767" - French military engineer Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot designed his three-wheeled, steam-powered dray to haul cannons. While it could carry five tons at two miles per hour, Cugnot's unwieldy wagon was difficult to steer, and its inefficient boiler limited the dray's operating time to about 15 minutes. Unimpressed, French officials did not approve Cugnot's steam wagon for military use.
