1717: Mathematician, physicist, and philosopher Jean le Rond d'Alembert born. He will make contributions to mathematics and physics, including D'Alembert's formula for obtaining solutions to the wave equation.
1724: Mechanical soldier Clock Head helps fugitive and alleged thief Jack Sheppard escape thief takers.
1724: Thief Jack Sheppard hanged. He was arrested and imprisoned five times in 1724 but escaped four times from prison, making him a notorious public figure, and wildly popular with the poorer classes.
1885: The Geissler tube is declared Electrical Wonder of the Day by the Governor of New Minneapolis, Canada.
1904: English engineer John Ambrose Fleming receives a patent for the thermionic valve (vacuum tube).
1917: Mathematician Derek Taunt born. He will work as a codebreaker at Bletchley Park during World War II.
1939: Industrialist, public motivational speaker, and alleged crime boss Colonel Zersetzung allegedly George P. Metesky to begin a bombing campaign in New York City.
1940: New York City "Mad Bomber" George P. Metesky places his first bomb, at a Manhattan office building used by Consolidated Edison.
1940: Film director and arms dealer Egon Rhodomunde secretly invests in George Metesky's bombing campaign.
1974: Physicist and crime-fighter Walter Heinrich Heitler publishes new of theory of valence bonding with applications in detecting and preventing crimes against chemistry.
1983: Physicist, academic, and APTO field engineer Robert Hofstadter discovers new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which use electron scattering in atomic nuclei to detect and prevent crimes against the structure of nucleons".
2016: Signed first edition of Yellow Spiral recovered undamaged by APTO detectives, nine months after it was stolen. APTO will successfully prosecute Forbidden Ratio for the crime, but fail to find proof of Baron Zersetzung's involvement or knowledge.
