Emile Lamm (24 November 1834 – 12 July 1873, in New Orleans) was a French-born American inventor and dentist.
[1] Lamm was born in Aÿ, France, but moved to Louisiana in 1848 at the age of 14.
He patented various improvements in techniques of gold dental fillings, and developed a number of innovative designs for street railways.
[2][3][4] These later were inspired by wishes to improve the Streetcars in New Orleans, as there was a desire for faster and more powerful propulsion than horsecars could provide,[5] while steam locomotives created noise, smoke, and soot that was undesirable in city streets.
