This 1956 film produced in the Coronet Instructional Film series looks at some early American inventions and how they have improved the lives of people. It takes the form of a grandpa telling his grandson some of the inventions he knows about including spinning jennies, cotton gins, steam engines in boats and locomotives, and the telegraph. The film ends with a demonstration of McCormick’s “Virginia Reaper,” an early steam powered wheat harvester.
