sentences: Floyd Alburn Firestone (1898–1986) was an acoustical physicist, who in 1940 while a professor at the University of Michigan invented the first practical ultrasonic testing method and apparatus.
 He was granted US Patent 2,280,226 for the invention in 1942.
 Manufactured by Sperry Corporation, the testing device was known variously as the Firestone-Sperry Reflectoscope, the Sperry Ultrasonic Reflectoscope, the Sperry Reflectoscope and sometimes also just as a Supersonic Reflectoscope, the name Firestone had originally coined for the instrument.
 The technology is not just used in quality control in factories to reject defective parts before shipment, but also revolutionized transportation safety.
 For example, ultrasonic testing is used for safety maintenance inspection of railroad cars, particularly axles and wheels, aircraft, particularly fuselages, and other transportation vessels for material fatigue.
 Dr. Firestone’s ultrasonic pulse echo technique for metal defect testing was also later applied in medical diagnosis, giving birth to the field of Echocardiography and to the field of Medical Ultrasonography, generally.
 Dr. Firestone was the editor of the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America from 1939-1957.
 Among Firestone’s many other inventions in his field are in a single year an “automatic device for the minute inspection of flaws”, “a new and useful improvement in hook-up of electrical apparatus”, and “[a] device for measuring noise”, and, even, later a “musical typewriter”.

 She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the 20th century.
Almeda Sperry (born July 13, 1879) was an anarchist, political activist, and former prostitute.
 She was notably involved with fellow anarchist Emma Goldman, although the romantic aspects of that friendship are contested.

 He later relocated to Baltimore, Maryland, where he partnered with James Bosley Noel Wyatt to form the architectural firm Wyatt and Sperry.
 Their affiliation lasted from 1878 to 1887.
