- defrost 3y agoHe had grease on his hands - he came up in the days of tinkering with steam engines and his papers came late in life after paying close attention to the financials of running the family brewing business (coal costs) and working with Manchester engineers Peter Ewart and Eaton Hodgkinson. His papers are based on observations and measurements of heat, force, cooling, etc based on comparing multiple engine design types .. at scale and with models.
