About this book
The Story of Great Inventions is credited to Elmer Ellsworth Burns and announced as a work with many illustrations. The contents list chapters on the ages of Archimedes and Galileo, identifying each age by the name in its heading. The opening caption describes light from a network of wires that is invisible to the eye but caught by a photographic plate.
The railway account says a line was built between Berlin and Lichterfelde, a distance of about one and a half miles. The railway description records a horse-car seating twenty-six persons being pressed into service and a motor mounted between the axles. A list of inventions records an automatic grain-binding device for the reaper and an improved self-binding reaper.
