Thank you so very Much!

Answer 15

no problem I love helping people

Answer 16

I'm so glad!:)

Answer 17

Time zones.
The time zones used to be whatever the local authority wanted them to be. One town might have 6am whenever the sun came up and another town had 6am 10 minutes later.
The trains had a hard time when their orders said to be at a certain point at 6am.
6am, but who's 6am
The railroads got together and set the time zones more or less along the longitude lines across the country.
Then every train knew the other trains were on the same schedule.
Note: Railroads used to make workers use expensive, accurate watches that had to be checked every year for accuracy. That is before the quartz watch.

Answer 41

Answer 42

was it A?

Answer 43

The first great invention developed by Edison in Menlo Park was the tin foil phonograph. While working to improve the efficiency of a telegraph transmitter, he noted that the tape of the machine gave off a noise resembling spoken words when played at a high speed. This caused him to wonder if he could record a telephone message. He began experimenting with the diaphragm of a telephone receiver by attaching a needle to it. He reasoned that the needle could wingspan paper tape to record a message. His experiments led him to try a stylus on a tinfoil cylinder, which, to his great surprise, played back the short message he recorded, "Mary had a little lamb."
