Leavitt devised one of the earliest machines for manufacturing tin cans 〔(The Federal Reporter, Vol. 67, District of Columbia Court of Appeals, May-July 1895, West Publishing Co., St. Paul, Minn., 1895 )〕 and later invented the Bliss-Leavitt torpedo, the chief torpedo weapon used by United States Navy in World War I.〔(Compressed Air Magazine: A Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Useful Application of Compressed Air, William Lawrence Saunders (ed.), New York, 1903 )〕 Leavitt was part of an emerging cadre of American engineers whose design feats were putting United States manufacturing might on the map at the dawn of the twentieth century.〔(Mechanical Engineers, in Big Demand, Win Quick Success, The New York Times, October 19, 1913 )〕 ==Early life and career beginnings== Frank M. Leavitt was born at Athens, Ohio, on March 3, 1856, the son of Rev. John McDowell Leavitt, later president of Lehigh University, and his wife Bethia (Brooks) Leavitt of Cincinnati, Ohio.〔(The Sons of the American Revolution, New York State Society, 1893–94, Edward Hagaman Hall, The Republic Press, New York, 1894 )〕 Leavitt married Ohio-born Gertrude Goodsell at Brooklyn, New York, on November 8, 1893, and settled in Brooklyn Heights, New York, where he pursued his career as an engineer. Within a decade of his marriage, Leavitt had patented an early – and lucrative – process to manufacture tin cans.〔(TIME magazine, August 13, 1928 )〕
