The list includes the V2 rocket engine, Model T Ford motorcar and Crick & Watson’s model of the structure of DNA.

The Centenary Journey objects are:

  1. Thompson’s Atmospheric Engine
  2. V2 rocket engine
  3. Cooke & Wheatstone’s five-needle telegraph
  4. Stephenson’s Rocket
  5. Reynolds’ X-ray set
