TODAY IN HISTORY
CAROUSEL
July 25, 1871 - USA
July 25, 1871 - USA
The first U.S. patent for a carousel was issued to Willhelm Schneider of Davenport, Iowa (117,336). It was described as a two-story "'carrousel' or rotary pavillion used in public parks or other places of amusement." A staircase within the central supporting frame enabled access to the upper story. Radial partitions could provide separate "apartments" with a sofa, imitation horse or other seats. It could be turned by a person or other apparatus. However, it was not very practical or successful. Carousels had been popular for a long time. The earliest* on record was at a fair held at Philippopolis, Turkey on 17 May 1620. The first* on record in England was at the St. Bartholomew Fair in 1729.

It was 50 years to the day that Louis Blériot made the first crossing of the Dover Strait by aeroplane.

This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution...."
