It's interesting how much burden we put on growth. Tucson AZ is a great example of a progressive city board having the most regressive and nostalgic policies. As a result growth is stagnant and innovation is non existent.
It wasn’t Otis’s safety brake that exploded growth upward, important though that was. It was Frank Spragues electric elevator with control system … hydraulic elevators were height limited but electric motors with steel cable were not … Otis bought his elevator company and became the world leader … and he also developed the first electric trolley and subway, leading to more expansion out … and for icing before going out on his own he first designed Edison’s electric distribution for lighting NYC
Possibly the greatest inventor who is not a household name like Bell and Edison
