FM mobile radio became standard throughout the country following the success of the Connecticut system.\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"FM Police Radio Communication, 1940","link":"","lat":41.759612,"lon":-72.681905,"icon":"/w/images/6/6a/Purplemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASME-Landmark:Fairbanks-Morse_Y-VA_Engine_Diesel\" title=\"ASME-Landmark:Fairbanks-Morse Y-VA Engine Diesel\"\u003EASME-Landmark:Fairbanks-Morse Y-VA Engine Diesel\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Fairbanks-Morse Y-VA Engine Diesel","link":"","lat":26.705541,"lon":-82.159035,"icon":"/w/images/a/a0/Orangemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASME-Landmark:Fairbanks_Exploration_Company_Gold_Dredge_No._8\" title=\"ASME-Landmark:Fairbanks Exploration Company Gold Dredge No. 8\"\u003EASME-Landmark:Fairbanks Exploration Company Gold Dredge No. 8\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Fairbanks Exploration Company Gold Dredge No. 8","link":"","lat":64.937623,"lon":-147.654976,"icon":"/w/images/a/a0/Orangemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASME-Landmark:Fairmont_Water_Works\" title=\"ASME-Landmark:Fairmont Water Works\"\u003EASME-Landmark:Fairmont Water Works\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Fairmont Water Works","link":"","lat":39.965855,"lon":-75.183501,"icon":"/w/images/a/a0/Orangemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASME-Landmark:Ferries_%26_Cliff_House_Railway\" title=\"ASME-Landmark:Ferries \u0026amp; Cliff House Railway\"\u003EASME-Landmark:Ferries \u0026#38; Cliff House Railway\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Ferries \u0026 Cliff House Railway","link":"","lat":37.794781,"lon":-122.411715,"icon":"/w/images/a/a0/Orangemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASME-Landmark:Ferries_%26_Cliffhouse_Cable_Railway_Power_House\" title=\"ASME-Landmark:Ferries \u0026amp; Cliffhouse Cable Railway Power House\"\u003EASME-Landmark:Ferries \u0026#38; Cliffhouse Cable Railway Power House\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Ferries \u0026 Cliffhouse Cable Railway Power House","link":"","lat":37.794794,"lon":-122.411774,"icon":"/w/images/a/a0/Orangemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/Milestones:Fiber_Optic_Connectors,_1986#_5f28a4039974a592bf42eef5449cc5b2\" title=\"Milestones:Fiber Optic Connectors, 1986\"\u003EMilestones:Fiber Optic Connectors, 1986\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn 1986, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp.

The same year Fleming patented the device, later known as the Fleming valve.\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Fleming Valve, 1904","link":"","lat":51.523033,"lon":-0.131607,"icon":"/w/images/6/6a/Purplemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASCE-Landmark:Flight_of_Five_Locks,_1915\" title=\"ASCE-Landmark:Flight of Five Locks, 1915\"\u003EASCE-Landmark:Flight of Five Locks, 1915\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Flight of Five Locks, 1915","link":"","lat":43.31666667,"lon":-74.13333333,"icon":"/w/images/6/6c/Greenmarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASCE-Landmark:Folsom_Hydroelectric_Power_System,_1895\" title=\"ASCE-Landmark:Folsom Hydroelectric Power System, 1895\"\u003EASCE-Landmark:Folsom Hydroelectric Power System, 1895\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Folsom Hydroelectric Power System, 1895","link":"","lat":38.68055556,"lon":-121.1755556,"icon":"/w/images/6/6c/Greenmarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASME-Landmark:Folsom_Power_House\" title=\"ASME-Landmark:Folsom Power House\"\u003EASME-Landmark:Folsom Power House\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Folsom Power House","link":"","lat":38.712373,"lon":-121.174627,"icon":"/w/images/a/a0/Orangemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/Milestones:Folsom_Powerhouse,_1895#_c999c24a549927038f6eaeedbd55ef96\" title=\"Milestones:Folsom Powerhouse, 1895\"\u003EMilestones:Folsom Powerhouse, 1895\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFolsom was one of the earliest electrical plants to generate three-phase alternating current, and the first using three-phase 60 hertz.

The large artificial lake spurred further Rio Negro electrification, availability of abundant, clean hydroelectricity was a turning point in Uruguay's development, quality of life, and engineering profession.\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Rinc\u00f3n del Bonete, 1945","link":"","lat":-32.833515,"lon":-56.423206,"icon":"/w/images/6/6a/Purplemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASME-Landmark:Ringwood_Manor_Iron_Complex\" title=\"ASME-Landmark:Ringwood Manor Iron Complex\"\u003EASME-Landmark:Ringwood Manor Iron Complex\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Ringwood Manor Iron Complex","link":"","lat":41.139015,"lon":-74.254974,"icon":"/w/images/a/a0/Orangemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASCE-Landmark:River_des_Peres_Sewage_%26_Drainage_Works,_1924_-_1931\" title=\"ASCE-Landmark:River des Peres Sewage \u0026amp;

Dedication: February 1984 - IEEE San Francisco Bay Area Council. (ASME National Historic Engineering Landmark, jointly designated with IEEE). The Stanford two-mile accelerator, the longest in the world, accelerates electrons to the very high energy needed in the study of subatomic particles and forces.

These experiments showed that radio signals could propagate far beyond the horizon, giving radio a new global dimension for communications in the twentieth century.\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Transmission of Transatlantic Radio Signals, 1901","link":"","lat":50.03238,"lon":-5.255764,"icon":"/w/images/6/6a/Purplemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASCE-Landmark:Triborough_Bridge_Project,_1936\" title=\"ASCE-Landmark:Triborough Bridge Project, 1936\"\u003EASCE-Landmark:Triborough Bridge Project, 1936\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Triborough Bridge Project, 1936","link":"","lat":40.79527778,"lon":-73.92027778,"icon":"/w/images/6/6c/Greenmarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASCE-Landmark:Tunkhannock_Viaduct,_1915\" title=\"ASCE-Landmark:Tunkhannock Viaduct, 1915\"\u003EASCE-Landmark:Tunkhannock Viaduct, 1915\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Tunkhannock Viaduct, 1915","link":"","lat":41.62222222,"lon":-75.77722222,"icon":"/w/images/6/6c/Greenmarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASME-Landmark:Turbinia\" title=\"ASME-Landmark:Turbinia\"\u003EASME-Landmark:Turbinia\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Turbinia","link":"","lat":54.969205,"lon":-1.624818,"icon":"/w/images/a/a0/Orangemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/Milestones:Two-Way_Police_Radio_Communication,_1933#_8935cb7a117b8f5a8aae9b28e30068a5\" title=\"Milestones:Two-Way Police Radio Communication, 1933\"\u003EMilestones:Two-Way Police Radio Communication, 1933\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E26th Street and Avenue C, Bayonne, New Jersey, U.S.A.

In 1933, the police department in Bayonne, New Jersey initiated regular two-way communications with its patrol cars, a major advance over previous one-way systems. The very high frequency system developed by radio engineer Frank A. Gunther and station operator Vincent J. Doyle placed transmitters in patrol cars to enable patrolmen to communicate with headquarters and other cars instead of just receiving calls. Two-way police radio became standard throughout the country following the success of the Bayonne system.\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Two-Way Police Radio Communication, 1933","link":"","lat":40.667603,"lon":-74.11844,"icon":"/w/images/6/6a/Purplemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASCE-Landmark:U.S._Army_Corps_of_Engineers_Waterway_Exp_Ctr,_1929\" title=\"ASCE-Landmark:U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterway Exp Ctr, 1929\"\u003EASCE-Landmark:U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterway Exp Ctr, 1929\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterway Exp Ctr, 1929","link":"","lat":32.28472222,"lon":-90.86388889,"icon":"/w/images/6/6c/Greenmarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASCE-Landmark:U.S._Capitol,_1800\" title=\"ASCE-Landmark:U.S. Capitol, 1800\"\u003EASCE-Landmark:U.S. Capitol, 1800\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"U.S. Capitol, 1800","link":"","lat":38.88944444,"lon":-77.00916667,"icon":"/w/images/6/6c/Greenmarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASME-Landmark:USS_Albacore\" title=\"ASME-Landmark:USS Albacore\"\u003EASME-Landmark:USS Albacore\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"USS Albacore","link":"","lat":43.082205,"lon":-70.766892,"icon":"/w/images/a/a0/Orangemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASME-Landmark:USS_Cairo_Engine_and_Boilers\" title=\"ASME-Landmark:USS Cairo Engine and Boilers\"\u003EASME-Landmark:USS Cairo Engine and Boilers\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"USS Cairo Engine and Boilers","link":"","lat":32.375893,"lon":-90.866705,"icon":"/w/images/a/a0/Orangemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASME-Landmark:USS_Olympia,_Vertical_Reproducing_Steam_Engines\" title=\"ASME-Landmark:USS Olympia, Vertical Reproducing Steam Engines\"\u003EASME-Landmark:USS Olympia, Vertical Reproducing Steam Engines\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"USS Olympia, Vertical Reproducing Steam Engines","link":"","lat":39.945849,"lon":-75.14076,"icon":"/w/images/a/a0/Orangemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASME-Landmark:USS_Texas%27_Reciprocating_Steam_Engines\" title=\"ASME-Landmark:USS Texas\u0026#39; Reciprocating Steam Engines\"\u003EASME-Landmark:USS Texas\u0026#39; Reciprocating Steam Engines\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"USS Texas' Reciprocating Steam Engines","link":"","lat":29.75617,"lon":-95.089866,"icon":"/w/images/a/a0/Orangemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/Milestones:US_Naval_Computing_Machine_Laboratory,_1942-1945#_be54896c6acfa7e016ab644caa61755c\" title=\"Milestones:US Naval Computing Machine Laboratory, 1942-1945\"\u003EMilestones:US Naval Computing Machine Laboratory, 1942-1945\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDayton, Ohio, U.S.A.

Transmitting with a power of 100 watts on a wavelength of 360 meters, KDKA began scheduled programming with the Harding-Cox Presidential election returns on November 2, 1920. A shed, housing studio and transmitter, was atop the K Building of the Westinghouse East Pittsburgh works. Conceived by C.P. Davis, broadcasting as a public service evolved from Frank Conrad's weekly experimental broadcasts over his amateur radio station 8XK, attracting many regular listeners who had wireless receiving sets.\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Westinghouse Radio Station KDKA, 1920","link":"","lat":40.45418,"lon":-79.890567,"icon":"/w/images/6/6a/Purplemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/ASME-Landmark:Westmoreland_Iron_Works\" title=\"ASME-Landmark:Westmoreland Iron Works\"\u003EASME-Landmark:Westmoreland Iron Works\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E","title":"Westmoreland Iron Works","link":"","lat":43.11624,"lon":-75.400019,"icon":"/w/images/a/a0/Orangemarker.png"},{"text":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\"/Milestones:Weston_Meters,_1887-1893#_c7a5d47b922ea594dbfb44845337e942\" title=\"Milestones:Weston Meters, 1887-1893\"\u003EMilestones:Weston Meters, 1887-1893\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEdward Weston and the Weston Electrical Instrument Company introduced the first portable and direct-reading current and voltage meters in 1888-1893.
