Atomic theory and programmable logic controller: what they have in common

  1. Step 1. Atomic theory — evolved into — Electron. The atom turned out to be divisible.
  2. Step 2. Electron — is used in — Electrical conduction. Current in metals is a flow of electrons.
  3. Step 3. Electrical conduction — is used in — Track circuit. The wheelset closes the circuit.
  4. Step 4. Track circuit — has part — Relay. Track relays.
  5. Step 5. Relay — evolved into — Programmable logic controller. It replaced relay cabinets.
