and then named him after himself. Eighteen ninety two George T. Simpson.

50
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.599
He was a black inventor out there in Ohio. He

51
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.520
wanted the first clothes dryer. See, people lived pretty much

52
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.919
hanging their clothes over and open fire. George, he came

53
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:04.680
up with the rack that you could put over a stove.

54
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.000

he had an electric taxi cab. Now the speed limit

63
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:35.919
was eight miles an hour if you were going straight,

64
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.280
and four miles an hour if you're going around the corner. Well,

65

a policeman on a bicycle, yeah, he was able to

66
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.080
pull over Jacob for going twelve miles an hour. Now

67
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:44.879

some time there at the station, it's pretty much blaved

70
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:51.759

74
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.400
they never gave any laws on what was happened if
