Three teens face charges after a Marta bus driver, identified as Leroy Ramos, was killed, officials say. It was a dispute over a $2.50 bus fare. Now a bus driver is dead and 3 teens are charged.
The diagram from Beard's 1897 coupler patent [1]. Janney couplers were first patented in 1873 by Eli H. Janney (U.S. patent 138,405). [2] [3] Andrew Jackson Beard was amongst various inventors that made a multitude of improvements to the knuckle coupler; [1] Beard's patents were U.S. patent 594,059 granted 23 November 1897, which then sold for approximately $50,000, and U.S. patent 624,901 ...
