@AcomsRazor1776: America, a European invention. Everything after that is really not important, is it?

But thats the whole point ! It was fun to drive, you sit inside and you see a long sweeping bonnet in front with the grunt of a V8.

settle down ,didnt no we are having a forum on sewing machines…..its about a car for christ sake.get a life will ya !!!!
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 am
Yes most, not all, a Frenchman inveted the first sewing machine. An American inveted the first lock stitch sewing machine (Walter Hunt).
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 am
Yes and from the history texts that I’ve researched I also read the word Failed next to most of them.
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 am
And that should be ‘your’ before you correct my ass.
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 am
A Frenchman invented the first sewing machine, source: Encyclopædia Britannica. It did work so you’re analogy is false.
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 am
I’ll tell you what im going to patent invent and build the worlds faster than light travel engine, it will be built of tin foil copper wire and toothpics and it will never work but i will be the first to invent it =P

Did you not read? ‘British inventor’, ‘Austrian Tailor’, ‘French tailor’.
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 am
It was NOT an embroidery machine.
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 am
You are pathetic. An early sewing machine was designed and manufactured by Barthélemy Thimonnier of France in 1841 to mass-produce uniforms for the French Army, but rioting tailors destroyed the machines. Thimonniers design, in any event, merely mechanized the hand-sewing operation.

“n 1814 an Austrian Tailor, Josef Madersperger, presented his first sewing machine, the development started in 1807.” And all of his Attempts for all intensive purposes were considered unsuccessful
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 am
American Inventor Elias Howe would be first to be issued a patent that utilized thread from two different spools to create a pattern called a lock stitch which is used to sew the seams of individual pieces of fabric together to actually create articles of clothing. French inventor Barthelemy Thimonnier Did not invent a sewing machine so much as invented an embroidery machine.
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 am
Why are you wasting your time here, you are actually proving that I am correct by stating these things as European inventions.
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 am
Professor Doctor Carl Paul Gottfried von Linde (11 June 1842 – 16 November 1934) was a German engineer who developed refrigeration and gas separation technologies.

(continued)
A later reproduction of Saint’s invention based on his patent drawings did not work. Austrian tailor, Josef Madersperger made several attempts at inventing a machine for sewing and was issued a patent in 1814. All of his attempts were considered unsuccessful. The first Somewhat successful sewing machine would not be invented until 1830 by french tailor, Barthelemy Thimonnier but produced and used only one stitch pattern that was used for embroidery.
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 am
Both were Europeans lmao. In 1791 British inventor Thomas Saint was the first to patent a design for a sewing machine.[3] His machine was meant to be used on leather and canvas. A working model was never built.
In 1814 an Austrian Tailor, Josef Madersperger, presented his first sewing machine, the development started in 1807.
In 1830 a French tailor, Barthélemy Thimonnier, patented a sewing machine that sewed straight seams using chain stitch.
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 am
Now for the Sewing Machine. 1755 British patent issued to German, Charles Weisenthal, For a patent for a needle that was designed for a machine, however, the patent did not describe the rest of the machine if one existed. Thomas Saint was issued the first patent for a complete machine for sewing in 1790It is not known if Saint actually built a working prototype of his invention. The patent describes an awl that punched a hole in leather and passed a needle through the hole.

Funny how you are already proving what I’ve been saying all along, Americans try to take credit for everything, but go on I’ll reply to everything you’ve said when you are done.
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 am
A decade Later an American Physician by the name of John Gorrie, based again on the design of American inventor Oliver Evans, will have produced what is widely accredited to being the first practical refrigerator, not only this but he used the device for the purpose of cooling the air in facilities set aside for Yellow Fever patients being the first person ever to use air conditioning. Gorrie, for all practical intents and purposes is credited for inventing the first practical Refrigerator

Dynamite was invented by Alfred Nobel and was the first safely manageable explosive stronger than black powder. Nobel obtained patents for his invention: in England on 7 May 1867 and in Sweden on 19 October 1867. Tesla had Austrian citizenship was born in Europe and no credit is due there for you. Elisha Otis only invented the safety brake, STOP TWISTING FACTS.
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 am
Now lets get into the long drawn out ones shall we! The refrigerator, the first attempts of creating an artificial process of cooling can be traced back to William Cullen in Glasgow of 1748 but was used for no practical purpose nor was there any single apparatus used. In 1805, an American inventor, Oliver Evans, designed the first refrigeration machine, using a vapor compression method. the first Prototypes using Evans designs would start appearing in 1834 from Robert Perkins.

Also the world wide web was so revolutionary because it actually displayed graphical pages with links and images, thats why Tim Berners Lee invented it to get away from the command line internet. You clearly don’t understand what the world wide web actually is.
January 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 am
No you are mistaken, firsly we are talking about the year 1991 when a European invented the first web browser which already could show us full colour images, sepia toned computer screens were a thing of the past for years already back then. Also a European had to invent photography first for those images to be shown on the world wide web which was invented by a European. Mosaic however was responsible for the internet boom and sure credit is due there to the USA.

Dynamite 1876, inventor Alfred Nobel, Swedish, Researched designed invented and patented his invention in the U.S. Considered himself a World Citizen. Radio Nikola Tesla American Citizen American Patent American Invention. Elisha Otis 1853 Inventor of the elevator along with safety brake, 1880 Werner von Siemens inovater of the “electric” elevator,
