The fine brain trust at How a Car Works has a great idea: print out free high-res patents and frame them because all our money goes to cars and not decorations, obviously.
It got our motors running. What would we want to hang on the walls?

A 1938 drawing of an internal combustion engine would do nicely:

Wankel’s rotary engine from 1958:

Ballamy’s differential gear from 1950:

Anything we missed?

The patent for the electric parking brake - so I can throw darts at it!
