       Dedication

      To engineers, who make what’s possible real

       Epigraph

      One new idea leads to another, that to a third and so on through a course of time, until someone, with whom no one of these ideas was original, combines all together, and produces what is justly called a new invention.

      —Thomas Jefferson
