I do find technological advance fascinating, how when a technologies time has come people come up with different designs all over
With the pistol we have Mauser, Borchardt, Schwarzlose all in a similar timeframe
Ditto with the Automobile with inventors from Germany (Benz), United States, Canada (Chevrolet)
and the airplane with the Wright Bros in the US, and Pearse in New Zealand
For each there were many other inventors - I am just interested in the compressed timeframe,
Although there was quite a gap between Leonardo Da Vinci and Igor Sikorsky
Leo was hampered by lack of any appropriate engine
