Brakes In 1901, British inventor Frederick William Lanchester patented disc brakes. Car Radio In 1929, American Paul Galvin, the head of Galvin Manufacturing Corporation, invented the first car radio. The first car radios were not available from carmakers. Consumers had to purchase the radios separately. Galvin coined the name "Motorola" for the company's new products combining the idea of motion and radio.

Fuel Injection The first electronic fuel injection system for cars was invented in 1966 in Britain. Gasoline The numerous processes and agents needed to improve the quality of gasoline making it a better commodity. Heater Canadian Thomas Ahearn invented the first electric car heater in 1890. Ignition Charles Kettering was the inventor of the first electrical starter motor ignition system. InternalCombustion Engine An internal combustion engine is any engine that uses the explosive combustion of fuel to push a piston within a cylinder License Plates On April 25, 1901 the state of New York became the first state to require car license plates by law. The very first license plates were called number plates first issued in 1893 in France by the police. Spark Plug Oliver Lodge invented the electric spark ignition (the Lodge Igniter) for the internal combustion engine.
