Impressive list and it only went to through E... Edison sure got a lot of credit after buying someone's patent. . . . our history books fibbed a bit to us, I believe. Maybe that's where Con Edison came from  Cheesy

Canada Dry - makes sense - I thought it was just a brand name. Sue

Sue..you have no idea of Canadian inventions..remember before 1867 we had to go tio the US to patant our inventions..and as we were not American..we could not file them..so many Canadian were forced to sell them to Americans...

True but sad..the Light bauld.to Edison. the telephone''' gosh darn to Edison again..the first voice heard over  what we now know as radio...goes on and on.
