I learned about three inventions this week. They are the suspension bridges, the fire hydrant, and the locomotive. First, I learned about suspension bridges. Irish immigrant, James Finley, was born in 1756 and invented the suspension bridges. His bridge spanned 70 feet. They carry cars over long distances to other countries, cities, or towns. It provided an economical solution to the problem of long spans over navigable streams or at other sites where it is difficult to find piers in the stream. Suspension bridges are very strong and durable and the cables that support the bridge deck can be very thick. Second, I learned about fire hydrants. Frederick Graff was born in 1775 and invented the fire hydrant. Fire hydrants allow firefighters to access water quickly. Fire hydrants have hundreds of lives and firefighters save billions of money. Last, I learned about locomotives. Richard Trevithick was born in 1771 in England and invented the steam locomotive. Locomotives haul passenger trains, freight trains, and for switching UK English shutting. The locomotive revolutionized commercial transport with a durable, faster, cheaper way to move goods.  

My most favorite invention I learned this week was the suspension bridge. My first reason I like it is because it helps cars get over huge bodies of water. My second reason is because the view on the bridges is amazing. I like looking down at the water. The last reason that it is my favorite invention this week is because they look cool and they suspend upward. Those are all the reasons why suspension bridges are my favorite invention this week.
