1785Chlorine BleachFirst used in bleaching process by Claude
BertholletPreviously discovered by Swedish chemist
ScheeleScheele found chlorine destroyed
vegetable colors, which made it practical use as a bleach

1794Non-electric TelegraphInvented by Claude ChappeUsed semaphore, a flag based alphabet,
and required line of sightElectric telegraph comes later on to replace
it

1797Screw Cutting LatheMany different designs of screw cutting
lathes came around at this timeCapable of cutting screw heads very
accurately

1798Interchangeable PartsEli Whitney first attempt was successful
(proved it in front of Congress), however could not be reproduced on large scale
Developments in technology made interchangeable parts especially important later on in early 20th century assembly lines
