John Roebling was a civil engineer who invented twisted wire-rope cable. He is best known as the designer of the Brooklyn Bridge, but he did not work on the design of the George Washington Bridge, nor did he take over the building of the Brooklyn Bridge after his father died, as he was actually the chief engineer throughout its construction. Additionally, Roebling emigrated to the United States from Germany, not Czechoslovakia.
