🎂 🎉It's our birthday! The very first ASME meeting was held February 16, 1880, exactly 140 years ago. Here's a snippet of what the @nytimes wrote about us back then.

For centuries, engineers have documented "simple machines": the lever, the pulley, the screw, the wheel and axle, the inclined plane, and the wedge. While engineering has moved beyond the simple machines, they were a starting point for modern innovations.

Happy birthday, Nikola Tesla! The engineer and inventor was born today in 1856.
This incredible photo is a double exposure. The Tesla coil was photographed first, and then Tesla himself was photographed reading calmly in his chair.

Ever wondered how the cars of a train are connected? The semi-automatic knuckle-style coupler was a step toward safer train operation. Previously, rail workers had to climb between cars to connect them! After adopting knuckle couplers, rail worker accidents dropped 81 percent.

This is the fastest commercial electric train in the world. The Shanghai Transrapid, a magnetic levitation train, reaches a peak speed of 431 km/h (268 mph) during regular service. Amazingly, the train can travel even faster—during a 2003 test, the train hit 501 km/h (311 mph).
