In 1874, along with W.C. Brown, Latimer co-invented an improved of a train water closet, a bathroom compartment for railroad trains. Two years later, Latimer would play a part in one of the worldâs most important inventions. In 1876, Latimer was sought out as a draftsman by a teacher for deaf children.
