Ben Franklin

SUPPORTED THE FRENCH!
Quantity vs. permanency of invention
Franklin made SIGNIFICANT advances in printing, but that was it
Ford's initial advances in automobiles have revolutionized industries like phones, computers, printers, refrigerators, stereos, helicopters, tanks, some office furniture, missiles, planes, circuitry, mechanics, and many other products.
