I agree...here is what I found

Wachs Steam engine

http://www.wachsco.com/company/index.htm

Interesting reading, it's a steam engine, perhaps these guys took a picture of the Wachs engine

intending to point to J. Watts but obviously the picture and the JW don't match.

Then the poor guy with the hydraulic ram is out of the game :-(, and Watts stays, case closed ...

e42 guys when the game is over it will be nice if you provide some clue about the selection of

pictures, because with this one and the one of the telegraph we have two that seem to be

incorrect.

Cheers

It's George Stevenson, inventor of the locomotive.

EW = Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin 1794

HD = Humphrey Davy - Demonstrated electric lamp to the Royal Society - 1806

JW = James Watt - Improved steam engine - 1763

BF = Benjamin Franklin - Pointed light rod conductor - 1752

GLL = George Louis Lesage - Used a single wire system to telegraph a message - 1774

LP = Louis pasteur - Process of sterilizing milk - 1862

GS = Glenn T. Seaborg - Synthesis and isolation of the radioactive element plutonium - 1941

GM = Guglielmo Marconi - Radio - 1901

AGB = Alexander Graham Bell - Phonophone - 1880

CM = Cyrus McCormick - Inventor the Reaper - 1809

TE = Thomas Edison - Invented phonograph - 1877

looks like gs = George Stephenson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stephenson so maybe that leaves the the jw still up for grabs

since we see a steam locomotive it looks like it is watts..

TE = Thomas Edison - Invented phonograph - 1877

GS = George Stephenson - Stephenson designed his first locomotive in 1814 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stephenson second paragraph of Early Career)

GS = George Stephenson - Stephenson designed his first locomotive in 1814 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stephenson second paragraph of Early Career)

BUT, the Stephenson Rocket, the first "modern" locomotive, was built in 1829: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephenson's_Rocket

so which is it?

i tried putting the initials in chronological order of when the inventor invented the device.

BF (1752)

JW (1763)

GLL (1774)

HD (1806)

CM (1809)

GS (1814)

LP (1862)

TE (1877)

AGB (1880)

GM (1901)

but when i put the initials in the answer box in that order with only a space between each, i had no luck.

Edit: forgot one. going to include it and see if i can work something out. : \

All in order (and with John Whitehurst for JW):

JW = John Whitehurst - Pulsation Engine (hydraulic pump) - 1722

BF = Benjamin Franklin - Pointed light rod conductor - 1752

GLL = George Louis Lesage - Used a single wire system to telegraph a message - 1774

EW = Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin 1794

HD = Humphrey Davy - Demonstrated electric lamp to the Royal Society - 1806

CM = Cyrus McCormick - Inventor the Reaper - 1809

GS = George Stephenson - modern locomotive - 1814/1829

LP = Louis pasteur - Process of sterilizing milk - 1862

TE = Thomas Edison - Invented phonograph - 1877

AGB = Alexander Graham Bell - Phonophone - 1880

GM = Guglielmo Marconi - Radio - 1901

JW (1763)

GLL (1774)

HD (1806)

CM (1809)

GS (1814)

LP (1862)

TE (1877)

AGB (1880)

Try replacing JW with 1722 for pulsation engine by John Whitehurst

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
