Excellent #googledoodle for honoring such a great man #elijahmccoy #therealmccoy Elijah McCoy was a 19th century African American inventor best known for inventing lubrication devices used to make train travel more efficient. Elijah McCoy was born in Canada, to parents who had fled slavery. McCoy trained as an engineer in Scotland as a teenager. Unable to find an engineering position in the United States, he took a job working for a railroad and subsequently invented a lubrication device to make railroad operations more efficient.

Why do we ask if something is “the real McCoy?” The phrase was coined after inventor #elijahmccoy automatic train engine lubricator inspired a wave of lower-quality knock-offs in the late #1800 , forcing operators to ask for “the real McCoy.” Today, McCoy’s advancements continue to inform our work as one of the nation’s largest producers of industrial lubricants. #blackpeople. #blackinventors. #blackhistory. #blackman. #blacks. #afroamerican. #blacklivesmatter. #blackmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/BrXCrMIHpL5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i3n28die4ct

Elijah J. McCoy was born on this date. He was a black Canadian-American inventor and engineer who was notable for his 57 U.S. patents, most having to do with the lubrication of steam engines. The expression, "The Real McCoy" typically used to mean the real thing, has been associated with Elijah McCoy's oil-drip cup invention. One theory is that railroad engineers looking to avoid inferior copies would request it by name, and inquire if a locomotive was fitted with "the real McCoy system. #elijahmccoy #therealmccoy #blackinventors #blackengineers #blackhidstory #blackhistoryeveryday #greatblackmen #thingstheydontteachyou
