- Leaded Gasoline Fuel Nozzle, 1992 - Leaded and unleaded gas are dispensed from differently sized fuel nozzles. Starting in the late 1970s, when unleaded fuel was being introduced, many car gas tank openings were retooled so that drivers couldn't fill up an unleaded car with (cheaper) leaded fuel. This nozzle was built by a leading fueling systems company.

- Fire Hose Nozzle with Coupler - Firefighters use hoses fitted with nozzles to douse destructive flames. Early nozzles, like this brass one, created a simple, straight stream of water. Improvements in nozzle design since the mid-1900s have controlled water flow and pressure -- optimizing a water stream's velocity and reach -- and created new dispersal patterns to help put out the fire.

- Set of Metal Nozzles in Red Wooden Block, 1980-1998 - Bobby Unser used these nozzles on his flow bench to help test race car engine parts. A flow bench is typically used to test the airflow through engine parts such as carburetors, cylinder heads and air filters. Testing led to better designs and better engine performance -- and better race results.
