| | Gottlieb Daimler Summary |
 | | Gottlieb Daimler, the son of a master baker, was born in Schorndorf, Württemburg, on March 17, 1834. |
 | | Despite early disappointments, Daimler's invention of a reliable self-firing ignition systems (a red-hot, porcelain tube that protruded into the cylinder), and Maybach's invention of a device similar to the carburetor for their smaller gas engine, helped push them ahead of other inventors who were emerging as competitors. |
