(BORN 1860 - DIED 1910)
ONE of the outstanding inventors of the Negro
race, Granville T. Woods was responsible for
some of the most valuable innovations, electrical and
otherwise, in use by the public today. From early boy
hood he spent hours of his time finding new ways of
making old systems better, and in 1884 in Gncinnati,
his birthplace, he began to have official record made
of his inventions, continuing his endeavors until his
death in 1910.
Woods' first patent was on a steam boiler furnace,
followed by an amusement machine apparatus in
1889, an incubator in 1900, and electrical air brakes
in 1902,1903 and 1905. He then directed his attention
to telegraphy, producing several patents for transmit
ting messages between moving trains, as well as a
number of transmitters. He thereafter invented 15 ap

a number of others for electrical control and distribu
tion. To further his interests he organized the Woods
Electrical Company, which took over by assignment
all of his earlier patents, and in the course of time he
found a better market for his devices with several
large American organizations. The records of the
Patent Office show the assignment of a large number
of his inventions to the General Electric. Company of
New York, the Westinghouse Air Brake Company of
Pennsylvania, the American Bell Telephone Company
of Boston and the American Engineering Company

Although Granville Woods died at the age of 50, he
crowded much into that brief span, and goes down in
history as one of the great inventors*of his day.
