1926 (+2): Improved ammunition supply for automatic weapons. Early AA fire control tables. Dual Purpose guns.
1936 (+3): Mature AA fire control. Radar guided AA fire control. Proximity fuses for guns larger than 75mm.

Amphibious Technology
Baseline(0)  lifeboats and the use of enemy harbors.
1905  Advanced (+1) shallow draft barges and shallow draft support ships
1910 Cutting edge (+3)  LST ships
1920 Futuristic (+5) Landing support ships and LST carriers
1928 Ultimate (+7): Mulberry harbors and amphibious vehicles.

Railway guns
1900: Baseline (0): Railway guns of up to 150mm, armored trains
1905: Advanced (+1): Railway guns of up to 254mm
1910: Cutting Edge (+3): Railway guns of up to 356mm
1915: Futuristic (+5): Unrestricted calibre railway guns

Motorization
1900:  Experimental:  A few cars and trucks have been bought by your army to see what they can do; everything else follows from this.  This tech is granted automatically once the nation has the following techs researched:  1900 Internal Combustion Engines and either 1895 Line Infantry or Light/Cavalry
1910:  Motorized HQ, Artillery units; improved tactical mobility  
1920:  All supporting elements motorized; improved strategic mobility
1930:  Troops mounted; improved tactical firepower/mobility, strategic mobility.

Light Armor
1905:  Historical 1907 civilian vehicles (unreliable) with improvised armor and machine gun mount.  Prerequisite:   1900 Motorization.  
1910:  Historical 1912 armored cars
1915:  Historical 1917 tankettes (unreliable) and armored cars
1920:  Historical 1922 tankettes and armored cars

Heavy Armour
1910:  Historical 1916 tanks (very unreliable).  Pre-requisite  :    1900 Motorization.
1915:  Historical 1917 tanks (unreliable)
1920:  historical 1922 tanks

Signals/Intelligence
Note:  This is "secret"!
1895:  Ability to create simple codes (if a player requests this ability.)
1900:  Ability to use and break simple codes, bored crews at wireless stations listening to radio traffic
1905:  Basic encoding protocols, dedicated radio and telegraph line listening stations
1912:  Centralized cryptographic institutions, enforced radio discipline, Room 40
1920:  Primitive mechanical encoding/decoding machines etc.

Rocketry
1910:  Black powder rockets .Comparable to light field guns in effect  but utterly unreliable and inaccurate.
1920:  The start of new rocket theories, experiments with vastly different propellants, active mechanical flight stabilization.
1926:  Experiments with liquid fueled rockets. Dependable solid fuel rocket weapon systems on light field gun level.
1935:  Solid fueled siege rockets, liquid fuel rocket weapon ystems in experimental phase.
1942:  Solid fueled area effect missile systems (Katyusha), less reliable long range liquid fuel rockets available (early A4) in small quantities.
