downtown oklahoma city. elizabeth bass is with the oklahoma historical society. >> in 1913, there are only 3,000 registered automobiles in oklahoma. by 1930, there were 550,000. so there needed to be a way to monitor how long people were staying and parking in front of their businesses. >> reporter: to solve the problem, the oklahoma city chr ofme turned to local newspaper man carl mcgee. he had an idea for a timing device and recruited two engineering professors at oklahoma a&m to design and build it. so on july 16th, 1935, the world's first parking meter was installed on what was then the corner of first street and robinson avenue in downtown oklahoma city. >> oklahoma city believes it has solved the parking problem with a meter that charges 5 cents to allow you to park in a certain place for one hour. you set the dial and it ticks off the minutes. >> reporter: despite the instant resistance with many seeing the invention as just another form of taxation, the meters would go

on to be a success, starting a revolution that would spread around the globe. remarkably, carl mcgee's basic design and mechanics wouldn't change much over the next seven decades, until the turn of the century when cities and towns turned to machines operated by credit card and lately even cell phone apps, even here in oklahoma city. of course, parking meters also led to another unwelcome innovation, the parking ticket. >> the first person who received a fine for putting -- not putting money in the meters was actually a pentecostal minister who left his car and went into a shop to get change to get a nickel to put it in the meter. and by the time he came back out, there was a ticket on his car. that was the first person who got a ticket. >> i was going to say, even god can't save you from getting a pocket ticket. >> exactly. >> carl mcgee, the inventor of the parking meter, has his own interesting history. he was connected to teapot dome

scandal in the 1920s, and he was accused of manslaughter, found not guilty, before heading to oklahoma and coming up with this invention. so it's never too welcome to the middle of everything! did you know that the corn dog was born right here in illinois?
