The annals of history are filled with the names of famous inventors. Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Nicola Tesla, Alexander Graham Bell, the Wright Brothers — all known for signature creations that made the world of today possible.For every household name, though, there are thousands of forgotten ones: names of thinkers, tinkerers or engineers who were either too far ahead of the curve or just a second too late.Their names have been mostly buried, but their contributions live on.
These are forgotten legends of invention.

This was most illuminating, (including Edison and Swan…) and the photos were all very interesting too. Thanks, Sarah.
Best wishes, Pete.
