2017 USA Tour Detroit Part 1: Classic Restos Series 35
Fletch returns to the US and the home of Automotive Manufacturing, Detroit. In part 1, the Chrysler Corporations Turbine Concept Car from the 1960's is revealed, developed primarily because turbine engines rely on fewer moving parts and can use a range of different fuels. Only 55 of these two-door hardtop coupes were produced with an Italian designed futuristic shaped body for consumer testing, ultimately they were all returned to Chrysler after the test and all but nine destroyed.
At the Detroit Historical Museum Fletch talks with curator Dave who showcases an original piece of automotive manufacturing - the Cadillac Body Drop, the mechanism was acquired when the Clarke Street Cadillac plant was closed and placed in the museum as a working display of Cadillac history.
While in Detroit Fletch had the exclusive opportunity to see the latest Ford GT, a superb aerodynamic Twin Turbo 3.5 litre V6 that will be the challenger to the Ferrari Hypercars, and reflecting Fords 1966 Le Mans 24 Hour winner. Only 1,000 of these will be built and cost more than $450,000 each. Watch out for more episodes to come from Fletch's return to the USA.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
A timeline of United States inventions (1946–1991) encompasses the ingenuity and innovative advancements of the United States within a historical context, dating from the era of the Cold War, which have been achieved by inventors who are either native-born or naturalized citizens of the United States. Copyright protection secures a person's right to his or her first-to-invent claim of the original invention in question, highlighted in Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution which gives the following enumerated power to the United States Congress:
In 1641, the first patent in North America was issued to Samuel Winslow by the General Court of Massachusetts for a new method of making salt. On April 10, 1790, President George Washington signed the Patent Act of 1790 (1 Stat. 109) into law which proclaimed that patents were to be authorized for any useful art, manufacture, engine, machine, or device, or any improvement therein not before known or used. On July 31, 1790, Samuel Hopkins of Pittsford, Vermont became the first person in the United States to file and to be granted a patent for an improved method of Making Pot and Pearl Ashes. The Patent Act of 1836 (Ch. 357, 5 Stat. 117) further clarified United States patent law to the extent of establishing a patent office where patent applications are filed, processed, and granted, contingent upon the language and scope of the claimant's invention, for a patent term of 14 years with an extension of up to an additional 7 years. However, the Uruguay Round Agreements Act of 1994 (URAA) changed the patent term in the United States to a total of 20 years, effective for patent applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, thus bringing United States patent law further into conformity with international patent law. The modern-day provisions of the law applied to inventions are laid out in Title 35 of the United States Code (Ch. 950, sec. 1, 66 Stat. 792).
From 1836 to 2011, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted a total of 7,861,317 patents relating to several well-known inventions appearing throughout the timeline below. Some examples of patented inventions between the years 1946 and 1991 include William Shockley's transistor (1947), John Blankenbaker's personal computer (1971), Vinton Cerf's and Robert Kahn's Internet protocol/TCP (1973), and Martin Cooper's mobile phone (1973).

SUMMARY
=======
The presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes began on March 4, 1877, when Rutherford B. Hayes was inaugurated as President of the United States, and ended on March 4, 1881. Hayes, the 19th United States president, took office after winning the closely contested 1876 presidential election. He declined to seek re-election and was succeeded by James A. Garfield, a fellow Republican and ally.
Taking office after an intensely disputed election, Hayes withdrew the last federal troops from the South, ending the Reconstruction Era. He attempted to reconcile the divisions left over from the Civil War and Reconstruction while protecting the civil rights of African-Americans, but largely failed in the latter pursuit. A strong proponent of civil service reform, he challenged his own party in making appointments. Though he was largely unsuccessful in enacting long-term reform, he helped provide a significant impetus for the eventual passage of the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act in 1883.
Insisting that maintenance of the gold standard was essential to economic recovery, he vetoed the Bland–Allison Act. Congress overrode his veto, but Hayes's monetary policy forged a compromise between inflationists and advocates of hard money. He helped put down the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, one of the largest labor strikes in U.S. history, by sending in federal soldiers. His policy toward Western Native Americans anticipated the assimilationist program of the Dawes Act of 1887. In foreign policy, Hayes asserted U.S. influence in Latin America and the continuing primacy of the Monroe Doctrine. Polls of historians and political scientists generally rank Hayes as an average president.
1902 Holley Motorette Shawnigan Lake Show & Shine 2012
1902 Holley Motorette Filmed at the Shawnigan Lake Show & Shine 2012
Holley began in Bradford, Pennsylvania in 1896 when brothers George (1878-1963) and Earl Holley started a company to produce a small one-cylinder three-wheeled vehicle they dubbed the Runabout, with a top speed of 30 mph. At the eve of the era of motorcars, the brothers decided to start the Holley Motor Company, and produced one four-wheeled model: The Holley brothers built their first marketable automobile in 1902. They called it the Holley Motorette and it sold for $550. More than 600 were produced.
Their first original carburetor, called the iron pot, appeared on the curved-dash Oldsmobile in 1904. In April 1905 Holley Brothers Company was established with an address at 661-75 Beaubien St., Detroit, Michigan. The brothers then concentrated on the manufacturing of carburetors and ignition systems. As a result of the Motorette Henry Ford commissioned the brothers to produce a carburetor for his Model T. The carburetor they built for Ford was an immediate success and the brothers founded Holley Carburetor Co., which became one of Ford's biggest suppliers.
In 1913 George Holley made a tour of Germany to study manufacturing methods, accompanied by Henry M. Leland, when it was said that a Holley carburetor: was on more than one-half of the automobiles sent out from American factories this year.
In 1925 a Holley employee, Daniel H. Meloche, was awarded the Edward Longstreth Medal by the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia. He had invented a method of using metal molds for making metal castings, rendering the sand-cast method obsolete. The process employing long-life molds was leased to the River Rouge plant of the Ford Motor Company, the Harrison Radiator Corporation, and the plant of Ludwig, Loewe & Co., of Berlin.
In 1929 the Los Angeles Times reported that George M. Holley of Pasadena and Detroit and a director of the Aviation Corporation of Delaware, has been elected a director of the Bach Aircraft Corporation. Holley, while serving as president of the Holley Carburetor Company, was also a director of National Air Transport, Kinner Airplane and Motor, Stinson Aircraft of Detroit, Air Investors Inc., Towie Aircraft Company of Detroit, and one of the original stockholders of Western Air Express Inc. In 1931 Holley became a director of the Warner Aircraft Corporation.
In 1952 Holley closed a plant at Portland, Michigan, which moved to Bowling Green, Kentucky. That year Holley produced the Visi-flo carburetor, with a glass inspection window to make a visual check of the fuel level, sediment, flooding and float action. The glass fuel bowl was manufactured by the Lancaster Lens company of Lancaster, Ohio. In 1955 the Wall Street Journal reported: Bowling Green Manufacturing Co., a subsidiary of Holley Carburetor Co., each year sends its employes dummy checks made out for the amount each employe has received indirectly through fringe benefits.
In 1968 the Plain Dealer reported: Colt Industries Inc. has acquired Holley Carburetor Co., of Warren, Michigan, following approval by directors of both companies. Holley Carburetor which makes auto ignition systems and aviation fuel controls, employs about 3,000 at four facilities in three states. At this time the corporate, engineering and sales headquarters were in Warren, with plants in Bowling Green, Kentucky; Paris, Tennessee and Clare, Michigan. [15] Holley was said to have a turnover of $40 million in 1967. At the time of the sale the company was primarily owned by members of the Holley family.
In 1974 Holley was making carburetors for Ford and some under its own name at Paris, Tennessee.Significant facilities expansions were initiated in 1979 at Water Valley, Mississippi to meet carburetor requirements for the new Ford Motor Company four-cylinder car, code named Erika, and in Bowling Green, Kentucky; Paris, Tennessee and Sallisaw, Oklahoma. In 1993 Coltec Industries Inc., of New York, closed the administrative offices at Warren, Michigan, and a warehouse at Goodlettsville, Tennessee. These functions were moved to Bowling Green, Kentucky.
In 1998 Coltec Industries sold Holley Performance for $100 million to a management-led team backed by Kohlberg & Co., L.L.C.
In 2000 Holley leased a facility in Aberdeen, Mississippi, with a plan to centralise five existing plants in the U.S.A., Mexico and Canada

From 1986 to 1994, 8 levels of AT&T's modern, Philip-Johnson-designed headquarters on Madison Avenue were given over to a then cutting-edge, interactive museum called the AT&T InfoQuest Center. This film promotes the Center's activities in all of their 1980s-high-tech glory.
The exhibits ranged from the basic (a videodisc about how the clock on a microchip works) to the kitschily intriguing (make your own music video about databases! Watch actor Harry Anderson, as a NYC cabby, give an interactive tour of the city), all in the service of explaining more about this new phenomenon called the information age.
Over time, the Center also hosted changing exhibits of a more historical or technological nature — like the 100 years of payphones exhibit, or one about the new world of digital satellite imagery. Many programs were geared towards kids, like a science club run by Gor-Don, the Center's human-size lucite and metal robot, or science rap contests presented by KRS-1 (yes, we are looking for footage).
When AT&T decided to move from their flagship building in 1994, theie spaces were take over by Sony, including the museum contract. Sony opened their Sony Wonder exhibits soon after, and they continue to operate in the same space today.
