Missed it

A busload of tourists arrives at Runnymede, just west of central London.

They gather around the guide who says: “This is the spot where the barons forced King John to sign the Magna Carta."

A guy at the front of the crowd asks: "When did that happen?”

“1215,” answers the guide.

The man looks at his watch and says: “Damn! Missed it by a half hour.”

Moving sidewalk proposed in New York City

In 1873, the idea of a "travelling sidewalk" for rapid transit along Broadway in New York City was printed in theNew York Times. Its inventor proposed to build two sidewalks, one in each direction, continually moving at 19 mph. How pedestrians would embark or disembark was not disclosed, although reportedly, the inventor had a satisfactory solution. The article continued with whimsical predictions of a traveller's experience. In fact, it was never built. In 1893, however, a moving sidewalk was successfully installed at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago to move people from place to place in the fairgrounds. It had two parallel platforms, the first moved at 3 mph. Riders could then step onto a 6 mph conveyor. There was a moving sidewalk, the trottoir roulant at the 1900 World Fair in Paris.«
