…was a new one to me, which is pretty embarrassing. Vincenzo Galileo (1520-91) the physicist’s father, was a complete musician: as experimentalist/mathematician (how intervals vary with string tension and air volume); theorist/inventor of tuning systems; and general leader of musical Humanism in the Renaissance: polemicist for dissonant chords appearing out of nowhere, and of monody–expressive, freestanding declamatory songs (he wrote a few himself), which are among the predecessors of the “birth” of opera.

George: first urban steam locomotive line; first flange grip for railway cars (did I get that right?); his track gauge is a worldwide standard.

Or did you mean his invention of the waterproof wig? :slight_smile:

I got nothing on Thomas.

Brooklyn Bridge. Does Washington get credit for anything specific? Did John invent the caisson?
