C.B. brooks "the street sweeper"




C. B. Brooks designed the street sweeper and patented it on March 17, 1896. Prior to his invention, streets were cleaned manually by workers picking up trash by hand or sweeping it with brooms. Brooks' invention was made of a truck with a series of broom-like brushes attached which pushed trashe and debris off onto the side of the road. his invention is used still today. it is extremely effective and gets the job done. brooks invention is not only useful to me, but useful to many other americans. had it not been for the street sweeper we would be living in filth. streets would be unsanitary and there would be crucial health issues. along with millions of others i am thankful for his invention.
