a crude plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural implements on their backs; by

1860, most of the machinery in use today had been design in an early form The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow As early as 1790 Charles New bold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention The farmers however, would have none of it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow Nevertheless, many people devoted their, attention to the plow, until in 1869 James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel plow

A pilot cannot fly by sight alone In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging” Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar

is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms
