#18 - "Radiator Slats"



#19 was the Industrial Steelmaking! No tariffs on Elaine, Milt, Jeff W., Michelle, Peyton, Joani, and Mike. (Elaine had been driving through Bessemer, MI this past week!!)




"Radiator Slats"



So much to see and shoot at the Haul of Fame. This was the grill work of a truck's radiator. The bits of rust taking over the rest of the radiator caught my attention. Also, liked the variations of yellow on the verticals - there is a full range here. 

Greatest Inventions of All Time!
Recently I came across an article about the greatest inventions as determined by a large group of scientists, philosophers, educators, and other professions. Their task was to create a list of "the Greatest Inventions of All Time." Conveniently, the final list numbered fifty! so, I'm starting with #50 and working my way down to Numero Uno in December.

Fear not as I will offer you some hints as to what the invention was.

#18


#18 transformed daily life, our culture, and our landscape and
is a wheeled device used for transportation. 

Most definitions say they run primarily on roads, seat one to eight people, have four tires, and mainly transport people rather than goods. They came into global use during the 20th century, and developed economies depended on them. 

The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of this modern invention when German inventor Karl Benz patented his invention. One of the first that were accessible to the masses was developed in 1908 by Henry Ford

#18 was rapidly adopted in the US, where they replaced animal drawn carriages and carts, but took much longer to be accepted in Western Europe and other parts of the world.


No clues - too easy.
