Why rifle sights exist in marking bullet drop and aim
The article explains that bullets drop due to gravity and friction, dropping about six inches at 100 yards and two feet at 200 yards.

Automatic soldering iron with central solder reservoir
L M Lasley of Portland Ore invents a feeder iron with a receptacle for molten solder delivering solder to the point.
