 HISTORICAL
BACKGROUND
OF
LAND
TRANSPORTATION
• It was stated in the preceding lesson
that man first traveled by foot. Then,
primitive man supplemented their own
carrying of goods and possessions by
starting to domesticate animals- training
them to bear small loads and pull crude
sleds.
 A. MANPOWER
1.CARRYING POLE
2. BACK LOAD AND TUMPLINE
3. SLEDGE ON ROLLERS
4. SLEDGE ON RUNNERS
5. TRAVOIS
 B. ANIMAL POWER
1. OX- cattle were the first
domesticated in Mesopotamia
2.REINDEER- first domesticated in
Siberia around the beginning of the
Christian era.
3. DOG – first animal domesticated
4. DONKEY- first domesticated in the
Middle East
5. ELEPHANT
6. HORSE
7. CAMEL
8. YAK
 C. WIND POWER
1. ANCIENT CHINESSE KITE-was first used for transport when a
Korean general employed one in bridge building.
2. DA VINCI ORNITHOPTER made study of the flight of the birds
and his notebooks sketched a number of Omithopter (a.k.a.
orthopter) which derives its principal support and propelling from
flapping wings like those of a bird.
3. MONTGOLFIER BALLOON-Brothers Joseph Michael and Jacques
Entierine of France have successfully released several balloons
when they proposed to use two condemned prisoners for the first
ascent with passengers. Pilatre de Rozier, a natural historian
protested this and claimed the honor for himself. In 1783, he and
the Marquis d’ Arlanoes became the first men to make a free
balloon ascent.
4. SIEMENS ROCKET PLANE Ernst Werner Von Siemens, in 1847
designed rocket plane which was to be propelled by the explosive
force of gunpowder.
5. LILIENTHAL GLIDER Otto Lilienthal, a German inventor who also
made a study of the flight of birds and experimented with
omithopters going so far as to build a model omithopter. His chief
work was with gliders.
WHEEL
• Invented probably in Western Asia- such invention
was a milestone and a great step forward in
transportation.
• It was one of man’s great inventions.
• It enabled him to transport burdens beyond the
power of man or animals to carry or drag, and
permitted much greater facility of movements than
the simple sledge on rollers which had to be
continually picked up and moved by hands as the
sledge is advanced.

• 2. SUMERIAN CHARIOT WITH FLANK WHEEL
