To say Henry Ford invented the automobile is a false statement. Henry Ford Invented a gasoline engine for the already invented automobile, car, motorized vehicle. Ford's car was the Model T version. We are programmed to think Henry Ford invented the car and the engine and tires and everything else about the car. Truth is told a little more completely by clicking here.Likewise, Thomas Edison is credited with inventing the lightbulb but his light bulb was a dud, like a car with an engine that gets 100 feet to the gallon. Lewis Latimer invented a much more efficient engine for the light bulb.
Lewis Howard Latimer made a significant improvement to Edison's paper filament by creating the carbon filament. His new version, which could be made from either cotton thread or bamboo, lasted a lot longer and paved the way for the mass production of light bulbs.
Verbage Found In A Relatively Recent Patent Application
My Note: This information indicates someone else invented the light bulb before Edison – probably true. But it totally gets wrong Latimer's contribution. The entire paragraph below was likely copied from somewhere else, like a racist university of cookie cutter hard boilerplated history majors. This information comes from a 2009 – 2010 patent #US 20100245215 A1, titled, “Incandescent Light Source Display And Method For Making The Same”“Various notable scientists and engineers have struggled to determine what solid material makes the best light source. In 1800, Humphry Davy invented the first electric light but it had a very short lifespan. Much later, physicist Joseph Swan developed a longer-lasting electric light with a carbon paper filament. Unfortunately, Swan's design also had a short lifespan. In 1879, Thomas Edison developed a filament made of carbon black coated over a piece of string. His early design lasted 40 hours in an oxygen-free bulb. Lewis Latimer, a member of Edison's research team, later patented a method for manufacturing carbon filaments in 1881. Carbon-coated filaments, however, were ultimately found to be inadequate because of their low reliability and low operating temperature. In 1910, William Coolidge used tungsten filaments. Tungsten filaments were found to have a longer lifespan than Edison's carbon-coated filaments and became widely applied in incandescent light sources.”
