Emily, with her husband Thomas Davenport, invented an electric motor[3] and electric locomotive circa 1834. Throughout the process of invention, Emily kept detailed notes and actively contributed to the process.[3] Needing to insulate the motor's iron core, Davenport cut her wedding dress into strips of silk to insulate the wire windings.[4] She is also credited with the idea of using mercury as a conductor, enabling the motor to function for the first time.[4] References1. ^{{cite web |title=Vermont Births and Christenings, 1765-1908 |url=https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F82R-CTB |website=FamilySearch |accessdate=4 January 2019}} 2. ^{{cite web |title=Vermont Vital Records, 1760-1954 |url=https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XFJH-Y97 |website=FamilySearch |accessdate=4 January 2019}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|first=Patricia |last=Lin |title=Women Inventors: Davenport |url=http://www.csupomona.edu/~plin/inventors/davenport.html |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090427173616/http://www.csupomona.edu/~plin/inventors/davenport.html |archivedate=April 27, 2009 }} 4. ^1 {{Cite book | last1 = Vare | first1 = Ethlie Ann | first2 = Greg | last2 = Ptacek | title = Patently Female: From AZT to TV Dinners, Stories of Women Inventors and Their Breakthrough Ideas | publisher = John Wiley & Sons, inc. | year = 2002 | location = New York | page = 28 | isbn = 0-471-02334-5}} Further reading
