Steering their heavy vehicles took real muscle, and Davis saw how taxing it was, not just for truck and bus drivers, but for anyone without linebacker arms.

Drawing inspiration from hydraulic brake systems, Davis wondered: could pressurized fluid be used to assist with steering too? He built a prototype hydraulic steering system and pitched it to General Motors. But GM passed. The Great Depression was in full swing, and luxury wasn’t a priority.

Still, Davis didn’t give up. He kept refining his invention, and his patience paid off during World War II, when the U.S. military needed help steering massive equipment. Davis’s system proved invaluable.

After the war, the civilian world was finally ready. In 1951, Chrysler debuted Davis’s technology in its Imperial model under the name Hydraguide. The innovation transformed driving from a labor-intensive task to a smooth, one-handed experience.

Today, power steering is standard. But behind the ease is a story of empathy, grit, and a clever idea born not in a lab, but in a moment of everyday frustration. Davis didn’t just invent a system, he gave drivers a break, and the freedom to steer without strain.

Sometimes, true innovation begins with one simple question: Why should this be so hard?

Turning the wheel used to feel like wrestling a bear, until one engineer made steering effortless. Power steering didn’t just save our shoulders; it changed driving forever.

Jamie Siminoff: The Doorbell Disruptor Who Rang All the Right Bells

When he pitched it on Shark Tank in 2013, the investors passed. (Oops.) But America didn’t. Consumers loved the idea of video-calling their front porch, and so did Amazon, which later bought Ring for a reported $1 billion in 2018. It was one of the biggest "I-told-you-so" moments in startup history.

Siminoff stayed on as CEO and helped scale Ring into a home security powerhouse, adding floodlight cams, alarm systems, and a neighborhood social network. He’s been an advocate for community safety, with some controversy around privacy but always with a clear mission: make neighborhoods safer through technology.

Despite the tech world’s obsession with disruption, Jamie Siminoff succeeded by doing something refreshingly simple: he made a product people actually needed. And in doing so, he reminded Silicon Valley that sometimes, the best ideas are waiting right at your front door.

🚁Lehberger’s 1930 Flying Machine: A Vision of Vertical Flight

Congratulations to last week's Centurion Patentors!
We are excited to welcome the following inventors into these prestigious patent clubs:

🟩 Answer: C. Stethoscope 🩺

👉 In 1816, French physician René Laennec invented the stethoscope after feeling uncomfortable placing his ear directly on the chests of female patients to listen to their heart and lung sounds. His first model was a simple wooden tube, which he described as looking like a “rolled-up notebook.” This modest invention revolutionized medicine, giving doctors a discreet and far more effective way to examine patients’ internal sounds, and it’s still a symbol of healthcare today.

There’s a reason mobile home parks are getting so much institutional love.

They remain one of the key affordable-housing sources nationally, have limited supply and high tenant retention (10-12Y). Investors can see tremendous upside with professionally-managed MHP portfolios such as Vintage Capital’s, which targets a 15-17% IRR and makes monthly distributions. Invest directly in individual deals or via a 10+ property fund. 1031s also available.
