On this day in History. Feb 9
Feb 9, 1846 Wilhelm Maybach was born. Maybach
was a German engineer who worked with Daimler to
build internal combustion engines. The first Mercedes, built in 1902, had a Maybach engine. In the
forties, the company he founded made engines for Tiger tanks. In 2002, Daimler Chrysler named a line of
its luxury cars after Maybach.
I often confuse Wilhelm Maybach with William
Maybury, but they are two different people. In the
summer of 1898 Henry Ford was given his first patent.
It described a carburetor. The patent was assigned to
one of his earliest and most supportive investors, the
mayor of Detroit, William Maybury. The Maybury
family came from Cork County Ireland on the same

boat as Ford’s father. The elder Ford got married at
the home of William Maybury’s father. Sometimes it
does not hurt to know the right people.
Feb 9, 1963 The first test flight of a Boeing 727. I
probably rode on that same plane last month.
Feb 9, 1964 The Beatles first appeared on Ed Sullivan. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Feb 9, 1965 First combat troops to South Vietnam
Feb 9, 1969 The first test flight of a Boeing 747.
Feb 9, 1971 Satchel Paige is nominated, and later selected, to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Paige
pitched,500 games, had 300 shut-outs and 55 nohitters.
Feb 9, 1978 Regan was born.
