This will require you to do some searching BUT where did the US of 19th century get the bulk of its technologies from (by hook or by crook) that led to US becoming a great nation ??? Did US buy them <grin> Did US invent them (talking bout 19th cent -- as yes I agree US did invent major advances in 1935-45 -- rayon, polaroid, transistor, etc:). Who did they not buy them from -- Was it 'OLD EUROPE' ??? <grin> Am I rubbing your nose in it ??? Cheers Doug (yoo betcha)

Railway technology mixed.
