Invention

This category is the top-level index for the atlas's Invention entities: the specific devices, machines and technical innovations this atlas documents, each covering its own working principle, development history and the problem it was built to solve. Each entry covers a specific invention rather than the engineer who created it, the material it is built from or the method used to make it, which are filed under their own respective types elsewhere in the atlas.
