InventionsDayton’s Story
Wright Brothers
Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright, together known as the Wright brothers, were American aviation pioneers generally credited with inventing, building, and flying the world’s first successful motor-operated airplane.
Charles Kettering
Charles Franklin Kettering was an American inventor, engineer, businessman, and the holder of 186 patents. He was a founder of Delco, and was head of research at General Motors from 1920 to 1947.
Levitt Luzern Custer
A friend of the Wright Brothers, Levitt Luzern Custer also had an interest in aviation but was more involved with hot air balloons. His first major invention was the Statoscope, used to register the rise and fall for both balloons and planes.
Ermal Fraze
A machine tool operator, Fraze formed the Dayton Reliable Tool Company in 1949, and later used his knowledge to develop the ‘pull-top’ can. However, the design led to an increase in litter, as users would dispose of the pulled-off tabs.
Arthur J. Frei
The use of ice cube trays could be considered a tribute to Arthur J. Frei. After originally needing to run hot water over the metal trays to loosen the eyes, Frei simplified the process by designing the quick release lever.
John H. Balsley
The title of Ladder Keeper does not appear after 1831 William Balsley, an uncle, was on the town council at the time the office was created. He became a wealthy businessman because of his inventions.
