舊金山居民安德魯‧史密斯‧海裡戴 (Andrew Smith Hallidie) 於1871117日取得第一輛纜車的專利

也許他是看到可憐的馬兒在舊金山的爬坡上拉著載滿人的馬車慢慢前進著,才會想到這個點子。不管是什麼原因啟發了他,安德魯‧史密斯‧海裡戴在1871117日把「無馬的街車」構想付諸實現,後來更在得到財物援助後,進一步實踐了纜車系統。


Maybe he got the idea watching poor panting horses pull carriages full of people up San Francisco's steep hills. Whatever motivated him, Andrew Smith Hallidie patented his design for a "horseless streetcar" on January 17, 1871, and soon arranged financial backing to make a cable car system a reality.
