Day in Engineering History Archive - March 19
| Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
Note: These historical tidbits have been collected from various sources, mostly on the Internet.
As detailed in
this article, there is a lot of
wrong information that is repeated hundreds of times because most websites do not validate with
authoritative sources. On RF Cafe, events with hyperlinks
have been verified. All will eventually be either verified or removed.
Please submit significant
historical events and dates for inclusion in these lists. I will be glad to include your name and
birthday. Please do not submit your death date ;-)
A couple years ago, I began commemorating the birthdays of notable people and events with special
RF Cafe logos. Where available, I like to use images from postage stamps from the country where
the person or event occurred.
On this date every year, swallows traditionally return to the San Juan Capistrano Mission in CA. 1858: Britain's first planetarium, the London Planetarium, opened. 1886: Aircraft manufacturer Giuseppe Bellanca (Citabria, Decathlon, Viking) was born. 1918: Congress approved daylight-saving time (DST). 1932: The Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia opened for traffic. 1933: The Civilian Conservation Corps was created. 1987: French physicist Louis de Broglie, known for his research on quantum theory and for his discovery of the wave nature of electrons, died. 1989: Boeing B-22 Osprey VTOL aircraft made its maiden flight. 1991: Patent #5,000,000 was issued. 2001: CA officials declared a power alert, ordering the first of two days of rolling blackouts. 2007: A partial solar eclipse is lined up for Asia. 2008: Sci-Fi write Arthur C.
