He invented the traffic light after seeing a carriage accident at a four-way crossing.

He invented the gas mask (called a Breathing Device) as he saw the need for a system that would allow people to work in dangerous atmospheres.

He was awarded the Carnegie Medal and a Medal of Bravery from the city. His device saved thousands of soldiers from dying from chlorine gas in the trenches of World War 1.
