This is a simple tally of American patent numbers and the years in which they appeared. I’ve found this list handy from time to time and thought to repost it here. It is a lot easier to have this series posted here than have to wrangle he data out of the occasionally labyrinthine U.S.P.T.O.:
SInce we’re in the beginning of the 150th anniversary of the war I thought to put together a handy list of battles–I think ‘ve seen one elsewhere but really I cannot recall the locatiion, so I cobbled together a fast-and-dirty alpha list to have on hand.

Chronological Bibliography of Quantum Mechanics
This is a handy and interesting 329-entry timeline of QM placed in chronological order from the article noted below. I guess it would be easy to start the list with Planck if you wanted to give it a firm footing somewhere, though the history of quantum mechanics goes into development stages long before the 1900 Planck paper. Be that as it may, this is just a quick exercise, and if an idea was formed or a lost memory found via a quick look at this list, then it is good enough for me.
