John & Horace Dodge died within a year apart. What did the brothers both suffer from which found them dead less than a year apart?

[dragonmaster093]

pneumonia , and cirrhosis in jan and dec 1920

[alk]

John died from the Spanish flu and Hoarce died from phenemonia

[dragonmaster093]

Dodge Brothers cars continued to rank second place in American sales in 1920. But that year, tragedy struck as John Dodge was felled by pneumonia in January. His brother Horace then died of cirrhosis in December of the same year (reportedly out of grief at the loss of his brother, with whom he was very close

[alk]

Wikpedia had what i listed. Whos up?

[Txdrgracer]

wtg alk, I found the same causes.

Death and legacy
In January 1920, Dodge and Horace contracted influenza and pneumonia while in New York City. Dodge died on January 14, 1920, aged 55. He was interred in the family mausoleum in Detroit's Woodlawn Cemetery with two Sphinx statues between them. Horace died the following December, and in 1925 their widows sold the Dodge Brothers automobile business to Dillon, Read investment bankers for $146 million.

[dragonmaster093]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_(car) here is what wikipedia says

[alk]

I searched John and Horace Dodge came up (John Elgin Dodge in wikpedia). Not sure how to put link on here but under sale to Ford artical is where i came up with my answer.

[Txdrgracer]

This is all in fun. My Trivia book stated: Dodge, John & Horace Their first car came off the assembly line in 1914. Both brothers died within less than a year of each other during the influenza epidemic in 1920.
I varified it here before asking it and had same result: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Francis_Dodge said In January 1920, Dodge and Horace contracted influenza and pneumonia while in New York City. Dodge died on January 14, 1920, aged 55. He was interred in the family mausoleum in Detroit's Woodlawn Cemetery with two Sphinx statues between them. Horace died the following December, and in 1925 their widows sold the Dodge Brothers automobile business to Dillon, Read investment bankers for $146 million.

alk's answer matched what I had found, so I can only go by what I was looking for.

[Txdrgracer]

In January 1920, Horace's brother, John, died from the Spanish flu. Having also contracted the flu that December, Horace also died from complications resulting in pneumonia at the age of 52. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace_Elgin_Dodge

Who invented the first spark plug and in what year?

[dragonmaster093]

Early patents for spark plugs included those by Nikola Tesla (in U.S. Patent 609,250 for an ignition timing system, 1898), Richard Simms (GB 24859/1898, 1898) and Robert Bosch (GB 26907/1898). Some historians have reported that Edmond Berger invented an early spark plug on February 2, 1839[1]. Karl Benz is also credited with the invention. But only the invention of the first commercially viable high-voltage spark plug as part of a magneto-based ignition system by Robert Bosch's engineer Gottlob Honold in 1902 made possible the development of the internal combustion engine

[ajk]

I found something pre 1870s not a patened.

[fla1976]

1860 Jean Lenoir invents the spark plug.

[dragonmaster093]

man, I may have picked a stumper. did anybody watch the winternationals this weekend??

[dragonmaster093]

according to wikapedia ronny sox is the champ and it was 1970

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NHRA

[Harbone]

for some reason I thought it was grumpy jenkins, my bad, he was beaten by ronnie sox...

[Harbone]

I was right, it was grumpy...

Jenkins, though, showed the mastery of the class that would reward him well throughout the decade and opened Sunday’s first round with a 9.98, low e.t. of the meet, then roared through the field to face Ronnie Sox in the final.

Jenkins was the only driver to dip into the nines, wheeling to three sub-10-second runs in eliminations. He sandwiched a pair of 9.98s around an early-shutoff 10.26 in respective victories against Bill Hielscher, Mike Fons, and a red-lighting Dick Landy. In the final, Jenkins left first and never looked back, running 9.99, 139.53 (top speed of the meet) against Sox’s 10.12.

[burnskustomz]

1962 was the first model year they were produced in 1961!

Then 85-88 was the chevy corolla things!

[burnskustomz]

18yrs+3yrs=21

[burnskustomz]

How did chevrolet come up with it's bowtie logo???

[gearhead1011]

62-68 it was called a Chevy II. 69-79 they were called Novas and I wouldn't even count the 85-88 toyotas. So technically the Nova was produced for 11 years. If you count the Chevy II as a Nova as most do then add 7 more for a total of 18 years. If you want to count the toyotas too then add another 4 for a total of 22. I think that was a trick question :?

[mopar1968]

''Burns'' they came up with the bowtie logo because they needed something to make it look good a neck tie would have drag the road :!: :lol: :lol:

[fla1976]
