Jewry's Role in
Human Advancement
On the land, in the air and on the sea, Jewish
inventors and engineers have pressed forward on the
frontiers of innovation. Since before the turn of the
century, some have led the way to change that has helped
structure modern society.
More than 115 years
ago, a vehicle with a
gasoline fueled internal
combustion engine,
electric ignition, car-
buretor and steering
wheel took to the road
at seven miles per hour. It was followed by three
strassenwagens also built by German born Siegfried
Marcus who helped spearhead the budding motorcar
industry with yet another model--the oldest of its type in
existence, today displayed at the Technical Museum for
Industry and Trade in Vienna.

Within the same
decade, an Austrian
Jew pioneered an
idea that awed the
western world.
David Schwarz was
captivated by the idea of a hydrogen filled rigid airship
that could cross continents and oceans. His designs led
to the first dirigible-a cigar-shaped craft whose skeleton
and skin were fabricated from aluminum. Ironically,
Schwarz died before the 1897 maiden flight of his
brainchild whose construction in Germany was
supervised by his widow.
BAIS CHABAD OF
WEST BLOOMFIELD
She eventually sold the invention's patents to
Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin who attached his name to
her husband's invention. But to his posthumous credit,
the era of the dirigible ushered in planet-girdling flights
and the world's first passenger airline.

DOVID BEN NUCHIM
Russian born Hyman Rickover was among the
most outspoken and prominent naval officers of his day.
What was not controversial about the crusader for
American military supremacy was his engineering genius
that gave our nation the world's first nuclear powered
submarine force.
THE DETRO
The U.S. Naval Academy graduate rose rapidly
through the ranks to leadership of the Naval Reactors
Branch of the Atomic Energy Commission. However, he
remained a rear admiral despite his successful 1954
launching of the Nautilus, the forerunner of our atomic
submarine fleet. Facing forced retirement Rickover won
congressional support for promotion to full admiral in
1973.
