David Dunbar Buick (September 17, 1854 – March 5, 1929) was a Scottish-born American Detroit-based inventor, best known for founding the Buick Motor Company. He headed this company & its predecessor from 1899 until 1906, thereby helping to create one of the most successful nameplates in United States motor vehicle history. Buick was born in Arbroath, Angus, Scotland & moved to Detroit at the age of two with his family. He left school in 1869 & worked for a company which made plumbing goods. When the company ran into trouble in 1882, he & a partner took it over. At this time Buick began to show his promise as an inventor, producing many innovations including a lawn sprinkler, & a method for permanently coating cast iron with vitreous enamel which allowed the production of "white" baths at lower cost. Although cast iron baths are uncommon nowadays, the method is still in use for enameling them. With the combination of Buick's innovation & his partner's sound business management the company became quite successful. Read more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Dunbar_Buick
A carburetor (also spelled carburettor or carburetter) is a device used by an internal combustion engine to control & mix air & fuel entering the engine. The primary method of adding fuel to the intake air is through the Venturi tube in the main metering circuit, though various other components are also used to provide extra fuel or air in specific circumstances. Since the 1990s, carburetors have been largely replaced by fuel injection for cars & trucks, but carburetors are still used by some small engines (e.g. lawnmowers, generators & concrete mixers) & motorcycles. Diesel engines have always used fuel injection instead of carburetors. Read more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor
A stock certificate is issued by businesses, usually companies. A stock is part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his/her money only by selling to another investor. Most stocks, or also called shares, earn dividends, at the business's discretion, depending on how well it has traded. A stockholder or shareholder is a part-owner of the business that issued the stock certificates.
