Among the people he admires, Leopold mentions "Edison with his lamp", Diesel, Bell, and Westinghouse. In 1876, when the movie takes place, Thomas A. Edison had just gotten his first interest in incandescent lamps, Rudolph Diesel was 18, and Alexander Graham Bell's telephone had just been patented. Although the Westinghouse Electric Company wasn't founded until 1886, George Westinghouse received his first patent in 1873.
