In this 1956 film by Coronet Instructional Films, INVENTIONS IN AMERICA'S GROWTH, the recollections of Scientific America editor Jonathan Sharpe tell about the Age of Miracles in America. From 1850-1910, innovation and invention shaped American life in dramatic ways. We can follow some of the advances in farming (horse drawn reaper 1:40), see Edison’s phonograph (:14), and the expansion of steel for daily life (street car rails at 2:54 and the high wheeled steel bicycle at 2:40). There are shots of the cover of Scientific America magazine (3:08 and 7:24). Inventors from this era are featured: Alexander Graham Bell and the telephone he displayed at the 1876 Philadelphia Exposition (4:07), interior and exterior shots of Edison’s Menlo Park Laboratory (5:12), the Wright Brother’s Cycle Company shop (7:30), early wind tunnel (7:42) and planes, with some actual footage taken on the new invention of the motion picture camera (7:48). There is footage of Marconi’s wireless telegraph (8:34) and the amplifier tube invented by Lee De Forest (8:53) that made the invention of the radio possible. With the advent of Edison’s electric light bulb (5:28), the use of electricity became more wide-spread (electric generator 5:41) and led to the electric street car (6:07), elevated trains (6:34) and on to some of the early automobiles, some of which were electric (6:18). There is footage of a young mechanic named Henry Ford in his workshop (6:36) and automobiles (6:51).

I never appreciated listening to my Great-Grandmother Sorg's stories. She was born in 1863 and passed in in 1960 when I was 12 YO.
How I wish that it would be possible to go back in time and talk with her.

Next time include the man who truly made all this possible... Tesla
1:06 I have that exact light fixture right now in the living room of my (1870's era) house! It's above me as I watch a streaming video, Now I'm imagining a past owner in 1910 cranking his Edison phonograph to dig on HIS high tech entertainment media in this very room! 👍😊👍
Not a single mention of Westinghouse or Tesla.
Yes. Listen to this one people.
Or Armstrong for that matter. But they covered the basics.
@@BeingRomans829ed giving false credit to those who based their work on Tesla's.
@@TugIronChief Telsa invented radio. Look it up
I think they were still warming up to Slavs back then lol
The reason many of these things were invented in the USA is because it was one of the few countries where you could profit from you hard work. Most countries you were a serf where you didn’t own or profit from your toils.
And so many today put so much stock into advanced degrees. The Wright Brothers didn't have degrees in aeronautics or engineering. They were self taught at home. And it was those two guys who were able to get a contraption to fly. I love the footage of the Flyer with a horse walking out front. What a unique time to live in with the future and the past side by side. Street cars along with horse and buggy and what not. And the mention of Bible reading at home...boy..times sure have changed. The Bible isn't read in many churches today. I think it would be wise to remember some of these self sufficiency skills of working with your own hands, growing food, canning, etc...I am afraid times are going to get rough in the near future. We are simply too comfortable and spoiled today.
Yes, it's a coronet film! We used to get those shown to us in elementary school all the time back late 1950s and 1960s. The films were always fun and straight forward even idiot kids. Many of the films were of a nature about how to ask someone out for a date, phone and appropriate social behavior. Handling disappointment, being sensitive to others, how to act at a party or dance, and of course sexual behavior. Too bad these aren't shown today. Although the above film may not have been their best.
Maybe not the best, but back then we were actually taught to appreciate our country. At my age it may now seem to be a bit corny, but the point was The USA was a great country because of its people and the character that once transcended race and other differences because of generally shared values.
Very poor grammar, Dr. Berry. Let me guess, a double Ph.D. in English and Idiocy.
@@patrickbyrne9282 It's CZcams Patty. Is your PhD in over blown grandiosity?
I hated rain back in the ‘50s because it meant no softball and sitting in the auditorium watching these. A couple of years ago I went back to my old church one Sunday but it was being renovated and the service was held in that school auditorium. Sure looked smaller than it did to a 13-year old in 1961. And now I appreciate films such as this and those from the Bell Labs.
@@dr.barrycohn5461 Si senor. Asta la vista, Sr.
The Internet gave people access to everywhere & everything. Social media turned much of it into a cesspool.
Yeah some idiots used it to start an insurrection and ended up with a failed coup.
To me the Age of Discovery was the sixty year period of 1870-1930. Almost everything today can be traced back to those years.
@@TugIronChief Yep, we're at the point where people are reinventing the wheel or inventing more "digital marketing" tech, with exception to few really pushing the envelope. Great, ads are more relevant to me-- thanks Edison
Meanwhile, those of us born in the 50s and 60s watched humans walk on the moon, the rise of the Internet, and everything since. It will be interesting to see what our grandchildren will see
Films like this were shown in elementary school history class back in the 1960s when I was a kid. It was a treat for us back then. We thought they were a little corny, but we learned.
Seems they ignored the greatest of them all, Tesla.
Especially since Marconi used a few of Tesla's patents for the radio.
Tesla's weren't invented until just a few years ago
@@chrismemphis8062 Nikola Tesla, not the car
@@matthewestrada407 So he named himself after a car company?

My wife's great-grandmother, Ruth May Fox was born in November of 1853 and died in April of 1958, 104 years in all. She saw all of these inventions and many more. She and her family traveled from England to the US in a sailing ship, and later traveled to St. Louis MO perhaps by train. By then, they bought a wagon, and traveled with a family who were farmers to Salt Lake City, in Utah territory. The 2 families put their belongings in the wagon, and the farmer hitched their oxen and headed West. The pioneers did not ride in the wagons, people were extra weight for the oxen to pull, so everyone walked. She also saw movies with sound later, then Television, she traveled East in the 1950's quite possibly by jet, and in 1957, she saw the start of the Space Race start when the Soviet Union launched the Sputnik satellite into orbit. She was quite alert, and one day in April of 1958 she said, "Well, it looks like I'll be packing my bags soon.", and that afternoon she died after seeing huge changes.
That's a great story 🙂
The last 40 years have been pretty amazing!
nuh-uh!
You sure?
Except for feminism and diversity.
Dr. Goldsmith thank you.
The greatest invention has to be the flush toilet.
These kinds of vids are important because certain people who are not inventive or creative are changing history to make it look like they are innovative which is not true.
The Telephone was invented by the Italian Antonio Meucci.Tesla invented alternate current witch start to illuminate the world until our days.The first car and gasoline engines appears in Italy and France.
Nichola Tesla was quite a genius!
"Nikola Tesla"
Nikola
Seemed to have a lot of bad luck too
i love this! it is so old, yet so inspiring...well done to Europe and America, the Western World for all this innovative inventions, but lets not forget, pasta and fireworks came from the East, and outside of the Age of Miracles there were many other inventions from all over the world that shape our life today, many of which are everyday taken for granted, that we do not even know of, yet without it, modern life would be disrupted...thanx to all even for a simple invention like the paper clip, which everyone owns, that make even one tiny aspect of life enhanced...i ought to leave my mark in this world! 😀
Thanks.
What a beautiful bear man @ 1:46. Woof
fascinating
And we all have the Industrial Revolution to thank for all of this that started in Britain in the 1800s
But the British still can't fix their teeth 😬
@@whirledpeas3477 🤣🤣🤣 that's because socialized medicine was supposed to work for everybody...guess not!
Socialism is not da wae.
Mark Henstridge...Yes, but we need to back up some from the Industrial Revolution and look to the Scientific Revolution, approximately the middle 1500's-1700's, that began discovering the keys of Natural Law ( physics, medicine, astronomy, chemistry, etc.) which the Industrial guys used to invent and develop the machines and instruments. But the Scientific Revolution can be traced back to what is called the Copernican Revolution, where Copernicus went against Catholic Church dogma that said the Earth was the center of the universe, and proved that Earth and the other known planets actually revolved around the Sun. We can also credit the Age of Enlightenment where people began to acknowledge that they were individuals and could think for themselves and could be creative in many areas. So our modern world is a result of several huge leaps forward in thought and knowledge, each one building on and improving on the leap before. OH, and we must not forget one of the most important inventions back then: the printing press. Yep, it is all tied together; one piece fitting into the next piece, and today we are soon to be sending the first humans to Mars. Incredible..!! Just try and imagine where we will be in another 500 years...mind boggling..!!
@@that1electrician But Earth is flat and the Apollo missions were fake, right? 😆
Elijah Otis and the Elevator
The fast moving time was a sight,looks like alot of antiques,I often wondered how anybody lived before 1900 without a car,tv,some of the modern things and that was in the 1970s!!!
Not even a mention of Tesla! No long distance electricity without him!
I was thinking the same thing. To make matters worse Marconi used Tesla's patents to build his radio. The Supreme Court overturned their earlier verdict after Tesla passed away.
@@Kamina1703 That was on 1893 the Columbian Exposition of 1893
@@Kamina1703 Westinghouse won the bid for the world's fair. After people saw that it was safe opinions started to change about the use of high voltage ac current.
Who is the fellow in the film? He must have been born in the 1830s because that’s when those high tech - and I really mean that - farming implements began showing up in the Midwest
Early in the film, he said Jonathan was ten when the first harvesting thingy was invented, around 1850.
@@donellmuniz590 I thought the civil war era was when they were invented but looked it up snd found it was in the late ‘30s when big ones came into being. Of. Purse they became fancier and less costly as time passed.
Great America
Scientific American became Drivel in the late 1990's. So there was no possiblity it could seriously address the Physics of The WTC Mega Ritual. And it was Tesla that made this world possible. He's the prime mover in this story.
Tesla did a lot with AC power. He had nothing do do with inventions of plows, tractors, hay binders, electric lights, street cars, steel, concrete, and a thousand other things that made that age (and this age) a marvel. He had very little to do with early radio. He was an important inventor, but no more important than Eli Whitney or a thousand others.
And SA was a very important magazine before it became new age drivel around the 1980s or 1990s. What it is now has no effect on what it was back then. It is new age thinking itself to believe that it somehow now being trash negates what it was then.
@@lwilton Marconi used around 12 of Tesla's patents and the SCOTUS ruled for Tesla. He lit up the world and is orders of magnitude past Edison
Edison was decades before Tesla. Edison was prominent by 1870, Tesla more like 1890-1900.
@@happyraccoon4791 Fairly or not, history, legend, and media do not remember him that way.
@@TugIronChief That's true of all great inventors. Ya know why we have Formula 409? Because the first 408 tries sucked.
"The Age of Miracles" imagine living in the slums of Guilded Age Architecture.
I just moved in. Howdy neighbor!
First World
Note they left out the ONE man truly responsible for today's wonders... Nikola Tesla. We run on Tesla's power systems, NOT Edison's (which was DC based). Marconi used Tesla's inventions and ideas, not his own. To leave Tesla out is just wrong, and historically inaccurate.
Well, I gotta say, this is about where I draw the line for skewed history. One might be left with the impression that in 1910 those things were more established than they were. For example, that first Army cross country motor trip that Eisenhower was on didn't happen until 1919. In 1956, there were people on the verge of retiring who were around when just about all of those inventors were really household names. Second generation execs who would have personally known Ford and possibly Edison. You can show that film in 2021 and kids wouldn't be any the wiser but in '56 maybe not.
Nothing was skewed. He said these things were invented in those years, not mainstream or commonplace.
Wow not one reference to Nikola Tesla
I know!!
@@hudzgh I find the modern cult of Tesla really interesting. He was very well known to anyone that worked with electricity from about 1910 onward. He showed up in almost every elementary electrical text. It was well known that he wanted AC distribution and Edison wanted DC distribution, and for quite a few good technical reasons AC distribution mostly won out for quite a while (but now a lot of SHV distribution is done in DC, for equally good technical reasons).
He tended to not show up in films like this that focused on American inventions, primarily because he was Russian and not American. A lot of other non-American inventors didn't show up by name here either, though there were frequent mentions of European inventors and scientists.
Because hi was a Serbian guy
@@klasstenmo2726 Nikola Tesla became a citizen of the United States on 30 July 1891.
@@lwilton if being historically correct is a cult then so be it. Nikola Tesla became a citizen of the United States on 30 July 1891. He had been a US citizen for 3 year s when he won the war of the currents when the Chicago Worlds Fair used AC current to light up the fair.
Cheap cars not now new ones are thru the roof
I was born in 1955. I'm not a fool. If you watch me you will see I eat pork buttons and baked taters

Edisons promo video.
Self promotion was his greatest ability. Most inventions credited to him were really invented in his lab by people working under him. But not the light bulb.
Not one mention of the man responsible for our modern way of life. We owe everything to Tesla. Poor dude
Why is there a propaganda spot from stacy abrams during this video?
The arga temple moving mountain is 700 ft away from nuclear fusion running jet cars it rattles the water cup on the table out there in California and over there in India Jerusalem too
Telephone invented by the Italian Meucci Antonio,the initials M.A.from his full name we’re used in ‘Ma Bell’ some say.
I always wonder why America built upwards instead of outward, the amount of land America has is fantastic but it seems that they enjoy living and working in Hi-rise buildings.
Because while America is vast the amount of land available in big cities is limited and expensive. When you can't build out you build up.
Unlike a 7,200 ft I'm asking for like 50 ft spacing on the houses when I stretch my arms out I don't want to wrap it around my neighbor's house
It was [and still is] all about using electricity and electromagnetism. Gas cars couldn't work without it. Now we're leaving the gas cars behind and saving money too.
I wish people acted more like Disney and just handle this s*** and then give me my car back or flying craft or whatever
The film was made in 1956 and claimed there had never been a more invention-filled period than those 40 years! From 1956 to 1996 the inventions of the transistor to lunar landing modules to the MRI to Hubble to gene-splicing, GMOs, the PC and Smartphone call that claim into question.
Isn't anyone else going to point out that 1850-1910 is 60 years, not 40?
Growth and progress are exponential. Nothing invented after 1940 could have existed without technology and science learned between 1850 and then. Nothing known or invented in 1850 would've been possible without what we learned in the previous century. Progress is like a family tree, or an inverted pyramid.
Some would argue that the most important invention of all time was the printing press. Others would say gun powder. Change begets change, invention begets invention.
It wasn't in question when the film was made. 1850-1910 may well have been the greatest period of invention in history up to that point. They had no way of seeing what was in the future.
@@TugIronChief Good question. Maybe the ULTIMATE in Imperialism, trying to claim it for America, lol. Or science for the sake of science. Gives the wonks something to do 😂.
Epiphone but they weren't Les Paul's
Why so many Tesla fanboys in here? It's a ten minute film, not an hour. Westinghouse popularized AC power over DC before Tesla.
Westinghouse financed Tesla's ideas, he didn't come up with it himself.
@@horton12545 Fair enough.
Before Disney I'm a presidential Azuprooter
Marty McFly in back to the Future asked doc what he needs to time travel and it was 2.5 gigawatts that's in all of our phones it's not a big deal the emphasis that he put on it was what those F-16 pilots had watching like a kids cartoon I'm horribly saddened
Ours phones don't have have 2.5 gigawatts of power. Were you thinking of gigabytes? I think you confused watts and bytes.
I wish I grew up during these times when people were actually grateful for what they had, and worked hard for what they earned. Not this millennial generation of stuck up selfish lazy slobs that are constantly bitching and whining about every little thing today.
A part of me feels like I already lived a past life in this era. Constantly having vivid dreams about working and living during the early 1900's. Weird.
And it is heavy as granite to tell you the truth I think limestone is heavier
Maybe they should have joined me in the effort and pursuit of what we love and desire and not join the military
They don't want you testing it the Cheyenne but they wouldn't mind if we did a crop circle but he'll tell you everything that God's going to chew you out on

For crying out loud the tracks at Disneyland/Buchwalter'
What's new this week? Now everybody is spying.
Too bad they forgot to include Nikola Tesla.
American centric.
No Shit. 🤔 It's literally titled "Inventions in AMERICA'S growth". With THAT title what were you expecting? Japanses inventions? Swedish Inventions? or.....? 🤦♂️
All that matters 🤣.
Mentions only Anglo Saxon names. 1956. Figures.
But I'd rather have it be like Nazi Stalin Germany or like Vietnam's slave labor sewing machine rooms only if they had a fan though could you could tell they were not slaves number two like Rockefeller John d guitar tuner shop and with his harmonics I put down most of my equipment some of it to tell you the truth would bring down Tesla and my satellite
Lazy I call it USA went all this trouble doing this well its the end so I can get outta here
Um...the narrator was poor at math. 1850 to 1910 is 60 years, not 40. Duh. Still, a man born in 1840 would have seen all of this in his lifetime, if he didn't die of yellow fever, scarlett fever, smallpox, tuberculosis, the flu, a sinus infection, etc...
WOW! Absolutely no mention at all about Nikola Tesla. What a terrible old BIASED film! 👎
