		Possibilities of match invention popped up in 17th century thanks to the discovery of phosphorus, and people, at first, successfully learned how to use phosphorus: having a lower firing point, phosphorus was applied to an igniting tool in Europe in 19th century.
		Walker's match was sold by Samuel Jones, an English man, under the name of "Lucifers." Further the match with pasted sandpaper on the side of matchbox was newly produced and named "Congreves" for sale.
		New match using yellow phosphorus was invented to improve the shortcoming of Congreves.

		The head of the match consisted of a mixture of potassium chlorate, sulfur, sugar, and rubber.
		The early matches had a number of problems -- the flame was unsteady and the initial reaction was disconcertingly violent; additionally the odor produced by the burning match was unpleasant.
		The safety match was invented in 1844 by the Swede Gustaf Erik Pasch and improved by Johan Edvard Lundström a decade later.

		Early matches, produced in the late 1820s and early 1830s, were somewhat unreliable splinters of wood or waxed thread tipped with a variety of chemicals.
		Highly flammable phosphorus was eventually added to the chemical mixture that coated the match head, resulting in a friction match that consistently produced flame.
		Invention and practicality, however, led to the development of safety matches, matchbooks, and mechanical lighters, which replaced the unstable friction match and rendered the matchsafe obsolete.

	Friction
		Friction, which is worse in vacuum, has caused irreversible failures in many space instruments.
		The first practical application of friction dates from nearly a million years ago, when it was discovered that heat from friction could be used to light a fire.
		In a simple case of friction, if we apply a force parallel to the surface, there is no motion until we exceed a minimum force, see the figure.

		A match is a simple and convenient means of producing fire under controlled circumstances on demand, typically a wooden or stiff paper stick coated at one end with a material -- often containing the element phosphorus -- that will ignite from the heat of friction if rubbed ("struck") against a suitable surface.
		They sold their French safety match Patent to Coigent pÃ¨re and Fils of Lyon, but Coigent contested the payment in the French courts, on the basis that the invention was known in Vienna before the LundstrÃ¶m brothers patented it.
		Two French chemists, Savene and Cahen developed a safety match using phosphorus sesquisulfide and proved that phosphorus sesquisulfide was not poisonous, it could be used in a "strike anywhere" match and the match heads were not explosive.

		Before the introduction of the match, fire was made by friction methods using the stick and the groove, the fire drill, or flint, tinder, and steel, or by employing a magnifying glass.
		to cause ignition by the use of chemicals resulted in a friction match devised in 1827 by an Englishman, the apothecary John Walker, and in a phosphorus match invented in France in 1831 by the French student Charles Sauria.
		The safe, cheap modern match was made possible by mechanized large-scale manufacture and by the use of nontoxic chemicals, notably the sesquisulfide of phosphorus.

		The lucifer match has attained its present high state of perfection by a long series of inventions of various degrees of merit, the most important of which resulted from the progress of chemical science.
		The match was ignited by being drawn through a fold of sand paper, with pressure; but it often happened that the tipped part was torn off without igniting, or, if ignited, it sometimes scattered balls of fire about, burning the carpet and even igniting a lady's dress.
		When phosphorus was first introduced to the match maker its price was four guineas a pound, but the demand became so great it had to be manufactured by the ton, and the price fell to half-a-crown a pound.

		Yet for years matches themselves were quite dangerous for the user, and the manufacturing process was deadly to employees.
		And friction was the first drawback because the matches would ignite by rubbing against each other in your pocket.
		Shortly thereafter, the Germans demonstrated their VW mentality and marketed smaller matches, but those were still a hazard to one’s hygiene and health.

	Friction
		There is no friction between object B and the surface it is on, but there is a certain friction betweem A and B. If F is less than fsmax then the two objects will move forward together.
		A frictional force won't exert a force until it has to, else you would accelerate as a result of friction.
		When you pull the boxes and the force is less than the max, friction will not be at its max; therefore, as you increase F, the frictional force required to keep the box from sliding will increase.

		There is a limit to the magnitude of static friction, so eventually you may be able to apply a force larger than the maximum static force, and the box will move.
		Both static and kinetic friction depend on the surfaces of the box and the floor, and on how hard the box and floor are pressed together.
		From the friction force, determine the coefficient of kinetic friction for each trial and enter the values in the data table.

		Matches were further improved in the 1850’s and then again in 1898.
		These matches were considered to be strike anywhere matches because, like the first matches, they could be lit from any rough surface.

		The friction match (or the stick match), has one end of the stick dipped in a fireproofing agent so that it will not burn readily and the other end is coated with paraffin.
		Safety matches are designed so that the head can be ignited only by striking on a specially prepared surface on the match package.
		When the match is struck the heat of friction converts the red phosphorus, which ignites and, in turn, ignites the head of the match.

		For many years, most friction matches were tipped with a mixture of white phosphorus and sulphur, and could be struck anywhere -- including the seat of your pants -- but they left a luminous streak and produced an evil-smelling vapor that was poisonous.
		From the time a block of white pine is fed into it, until, 60 minutes later, the matches emerge in boxes ready for shipment, they arc not touched by a human hand.
		The Diamond Match Company bought the patent, fixed the number of matches per book at 20 and, to make it a safety match, put the striking surface on the outside of the cover.

	Friction
		The coefficient of static friction is typically larger than the coefficient of kinetic friction.
		When two surfaces are moving with respect to one another, the frictional resistance is almost constant over a wide range of low speeds, and in the standard model of friction the frictional force is described by the relationship below.
		The coefficient is typically less than the coefficient of static friction, reflecting the common experience that it is easier to keep something in motion across a horizontal surface than to start it in motion from rest.

	APPLICATION-SPECIFIC FRICTION MATERIALS CONTINUE TO EXPAND, Larry Carley, Brake & Front End, January 2003
		In some cases, the friction materials in the aftermarket linings are the same or very similar to those in the OEM linings.
		Because the ABS control electronics are calibrated to the OEM brakes, aftermarket replacement linings should closely match the friction characteristics of the OEM linings — which, in most cases, requires the use of application-specific materials.
		The safest course of action for aftermarket brake supplies, therefore, is to use friction materials that are the same or closely match the OEM brakes — and to voluntarily certify their compliance.
