-
Advances in steel manufacturing allowed for mass production due to cheaper costs and faster production.
-
Sir Henry's invented the "Bessemer process" which allowed for this mass production of steel at lower costs(pre revolution).
-
Mass production of steel allowed for more skyscrapers, bridges and railroads, etc.
-
Because of the increase in steel production, iron rails were replaced with steel rails. Steel was more durable.
-
Michael Faraday's inventions became the foundation of "modern" use of electricity in technology
-
Iron production was a big part of the second Revolution. Iron was needed in large quantities to build railroad tracks.
-
Blast furnaces were used in the production of iron.
-
In 1857, Edward Cowper invented the Cowper stove which helped in the production of iron. The stove worked in conjunction with blast furnaces.

Edgar Hooley was a British engineer who patented modern day tarmac.
-
Ford founded "Ford Motor Company" in 1903. "Mass production would not be possible without electrification."
-
Orville and Wilbur Wright successfully executed the first experiment of the airplane.
-
The Model T was first introduced on this date. It's production was made easier because of electrification.
