旧金山居民安德鲁.史密斯.海里戴 (Andrew Smith Hallidie) 于1871117日取得第一辆缆车的专利

也许他是看到可怜的马儿在旧金山的爬坡上拉着载满人的马车慢慢前进着,才会想到这个点子。不管是什么原因启发了他,安德鲁.史密斯.海里戴在1871117日把「无马的街车」构想付诸实现,后来更在得到财物援助后,进一步实践了缆车系统。


Maybe he got the idea watching poor panting horses pull carriages full of people up San Francisco's steep hills. Whatever motivated him, Andrew Smith Hallidie patented his design for a "horseless streetcar" on January 17, 1871, and soon arranged financial backing to make a cable car system a reality.
