"Plethora of Oil Cans"
I was at the right place at the right time a few years back when someone offered an opportunity to shoot inside of the garage belonging to radio personalities Click and Clack!
Every year the two car guys host a road rallye at their place in Middleborough. Their collection of antique cars and other memorabilia was fascinating. Downstairs they had an entire soda fountain set up - with a heavy presence of Coca-Cola items!
On one of the shelves they spread out their collection of oil cans. All kinds of shapes and sizes filled the space.
Looking back on that day, I don't think the invite was extended to the handful of us who did show up but the hosts were gracious in allowing us to get our shots!
Greatest Inventions of All Time!

Fear not as I will offer you some hints as to what the invention was.
#15
Transformed travel, warfare, and our view of the world!
The Wright Brothers are credited with inventing and getting #15 to perform in 1903! See, no multiple choices today!

They built on the works of George Cayley dating from 1799, when he set forth the concept of the modern device. Between 1867 and 1896, the German pioneer Otto Lilienthal also studied this concept. Following its limited use in World War I, the technology continued to develop. #15 had a presence in all the major battles of WWII.
