Hell yeah. They pulled off some impressive shit in the 20th as well. Automatic transmissions are amazing. That’s why nobody can actually fix one. BMW pulled off fuselage-mounted machine guns that fired between the spinning blades of the propeller in WWI. Hence the brag in their emblem.
Technology Connections did a couple episodes on the ingeniously simple tech in a couple old cameras.

Holy cow that first camera is just so full of genius engineering.
I’m always astounded at what 19th century engineers could do with just mechanical stuff.
