- Sketch Showing Original Location of Luther Burbank Garden Office, Santa Rosa, California, January 30, 1941 - Luther Burbank (1849-1926), a much-heralded American horticulturalist, gained a reputation for selectively breeding more than 800 new fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other plants. He opened a "Bureau of Information" in 1910 to sell seeds and souvenirs. Burbank's widow described it as the "little office" when she offered it to Henry Ford in 1928. This map documents its original locations in Santa Rosa, California.

- Early Design Sketch of the Edison2 Very Light Car, 2008 - This sketch of the Edison2 was drawn freehand in a coffee shop; it might appear hasty, but its creator is an aerodynamics engineer -- an expert in stealth aircraft technology with decades of wind tunnel experience. While the next steps involved computer-aided design, rough explorations like this were crucial to the development -- and final shape -- of the Edison2.
