Henry Gantt, a mechanical engineer, invented the Gantt chart in the 1910s. He designed his chart so that production foreman could watch schedules to ensure the work was being done on time. Gantt charts were used when building the Hoover Dam and for organizing large projects.
The geodesic may be plotted on a gnomonic map, and later transferred to a Mercator map and split in loxodromes piecewise. This projection was possibly first used by Etzlaub ca. 1511; however, it was for sure only widely known after Mercator's atlas of 1569.Since a rigorous underlying mathematics was not available at the time, Mercator probably defined the graticule by geometric construction; E.Wright formally presented equations in 1599.his projection was possibly first used by Etzlaub ca. 1511; however, it was for sure only widely known after Mercator's atlas of 1569.
