Monier patents iron-reinforced cement
node
Joseph Monier, a French gardener, patents reinforced cement tubs and tanks - iron mesh embedded in cement mortar. It is not yet a structural system, but it is the first commercial expression of the idea that the tension a cementitious material cannot take can be handed to metal placed exactly where the tension occurs.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
