Notes on Technology:
The most notable changes from real-world history in technology are:
1. Radio was very quickly patented by Edison Electric after being discovered by Hertz. It never advanced beyond the Audion Tube in levels of complexity.
2. The Model T was invented, but the Ford Company was forcefully overtaken by Edison Electric, and automotive technology has been practically the same for a very long time.
3. Shortly after inventing Alternating Current, George Westinghouse was found dead in an alley. As such, Direct Current is the only used way of using electricity.
4. Military technology like large planes, armored cars, sophisticated bombs, and countless others, were never invented or only exist in a very simplistic form.
5. Weaponry used by the Pinkertons are about on-part with WWII weaponry.
