Very interesting stamps! I like that you show the whole sheet, with the selvage.
My inventions, here.
The wonder of stamps, the catchy Canadarm name has stuck in my mind from when it was one of the stamps I received on a Canadian postcard and wondered what it was. I never thought about who invented it, like the cogs.

That's a wonderful set ... I always love to see a complete sheet, with full margins. By the way, in Italy, they prefer to credit Antonio Meucci with the invention of the telephone! Here's my post on Information Technology.
