#Inventor Maria Beasley's genius was barrel machinery.

First barrel-hooping machine patent in 1881. Final design could hoop ~1700 barrels/day. Licensed to Standard Oil & others, she was generating $20K/year in royalties ($652K in 2024) by 1912. Her inventions didn't stop there... #WomenInSTEM (1/2)

Not that anybody asked, but If you accumulated all the flora, fauna, and metal that your True Love gives you each day in the “Twelve Days of Christmas” song, you would own 12 Trees, 40 Gold Rings, 140 Humans, and 185 Birds of 6 different species.
