Inventions

Frozen Foods

In 1924, Clarence Birdseye discovered a process of packing food into cardboard boxes and flash-freezing them to preserve them. He was inspired when he witnessed the Arctic people's methods of packing fresh fish in barrels.


The Rocket


in 1926, Dr. Robert Hutchings Goddard was the first to successfully develop and test a rocket propelled by liquid fuel. He later went on to develop a gyro for controlling rocket flight and invented the multi-stage rocket.
