Nearly thirty years later, former CEO of Manico, Inc., Jack Kahl “officially” changed the name to Duck Tape® by commercializing it and giving it personality. Today, duct tape is offered in over twenty different colors and patterns. Besides its World War II association, duct tape was used to help one of the most “successful failures” in history. When Apollo 13 was crippled by an explosion only two days after the launch, astronauts were left with a limited oxygen supply that was slowly running out. Of course, they fixed it with duct tape.
In order to gain a larger market share, Ford designed, manufactured and the vehicle was shipped in order to be the road in a very short time frame. The first few years of sales were good, but in May 1972, Lily Gray was traveling with her thirteen year-old passenger, Richard Grimshaw when the car suddenly stalled and was rear-ended by another vehicle traveling approximately 32 miles per hour. The impact killed Lily Gray (after succumbing to congestive heart failure) and permanently disfigured thirteen year-old Richard Grimshaw with burns to his face and body (Leggett, 1999, para. 7). Grimshaw and Gray’s heirs sued Ford motor company based on theories of negligence and strict liability, alleging that the defendants knew from pre-manufacturing crash tests regarding the design flaws with the fuel system (Grimshaw v. Ford Motor Company, 1981).
Garrett Augustus Morgan, Sr. (March 4, 1877 – July 27, 1963) was an American inventor. His most notable inventions included a type of protective respiratory hood (or gas mask), a traffic signal, and a hair-straightening preparation. He is renowned for a heroic rescue in 1917 at Lake Erie in which he used his hood to save workers trapped in a tunnel system filled with fumes, after other rescue attempts had failed. He is credited as the first African American in Cleveland, Ohio, to own an automobile. Born in Paris, Kentucky to Sydney, a former slave and son of Confederate Col. John H. Morgan and Eliza Reed, also a former slave, Morgan moved at the age of fourteen to Cincinnati, Ohio in search of employment.
Driver’s helmets rank the highest in safety features. In early racing the helmets almost looked like hardhats but now they are circulated with fresh air and have built in radios for communication. The helmets today are built of heavy duty plastics and Kevlar. One important feature is the HANS device (Head and Neck Safety) When Dale Earnhard died on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 he was not wearing the HANS device when he hit the wall going over 180 miles per hour and his neck was instantly broken from the impact with the wall and he also died on impact. The HANS device connects the helmet and uniform to the seat to form protection for the neck.

In 1948, he developed a new way to synthesize the hydrocortisone used to treat rheumatoid arthritis - the method most widely used to this day. By the time he died in 1975, his research had resulted in more than 160 separate patents. As one of his tributes, the U.S. Postal Service recognized his contributions to science and issued a 29-cent Percy Julian stamp in 1993. The Julian stamp was part of a black heritage series that also recognized W.E.B.
If you stall out just repeat the steps to starting the car. If the car pulls forward and does not stall out you will just keep pushing the gas until the clutch is all the way released. At this point you will hear the engine almost scream because the RPMs are getting higher and higher, this is when you shift into second gear by pushing the clutch back down while releasing the gas pedal, when the clutch is pushed down pull the stick straight down to second gear but this time you don’t have to go so slow with pushing the gas and releasing the clutch because it is at a higher gear. When you are in second gear you will have to look at the RPMs, when they get up to two or in between two and three thousand, it is then time to shift to third gear by repeating the shifting process, at this time your car
A European physician, Professor A Weichselbaum, discovered the cause of the mysterious cerebro-spinal meningitis illness in 1887 and Penicillin was the first antibiotic used to fight the disease. In 1978 the first vaccine was created and mass vaccinations during that year caused a substantial decline in the number of meningitis outbreaks (Fredericks, n.d.). There are three main types of meningococcal disease serogroups: B, C, and Y. Worldwide there are also A and W-135. USA vaccines cover A, C, W-135, and Y but not B (Coffee, 2015).
According to http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk , accessed October 25, 2012, Ford resented getting involved in war, but after Pearl Harbor he turned over his vast production resources to his country. His factories would soon produce tanks, armored cars, jeeps, bombs, and engine-powered landing craft. An example of this would be the Ford plant at Willow Run that produced over 8,000 Liberator bombers during the war. Fords improved assembly line methods would contribute to the Allied win in World War II. His output of automobiles contributed to the expedited construction of
