AbstractBeam engines introduced America to the steam age and powered the nation’s progress for much of the 19th century, spearheading the navigation of its inland waterways, powering its mills and manufacturing industry, enabling the mining of its deep mineral resources, and supplying its growing cities with water. Development of the beam engine in America lagged that in Britain and Europe but followed a similar evolution until its displacement by other forms of steam engine and by electricity at the end of the 19th century. Development started with the introduction of America’s first beam engine, imported from Britain in 1755, progressed through the rapid growth of American-built engines, and culminated in the mid- to late-19th century in the metropolitan waterworks of the American Midwest and East, in the deep mines of the American West, and in the paddle steamers that first brought America together.Keywords: Steam enginesengineersminingpaddle steamerswaterworks19th century America AcknowledgmentsThis article has benefited from insightful reviews by Chris Allen and Paul Stephens, and the comments of journal editor Julia Elton, all of which were greatly appreciated.Notes1 J.

梁式发动机将美国引入了蒸汽时代,并在19世纪的大部分时间里为美国的进步提供了动力,引领了内陆水道的航行,为工厂和制造业提供了动力,使其深层矿产资源的开采成为可能,并为其不断发展的城市提供了水。美国的梁式发动机的发展落后于英国和欧洲,但也经历了类似的演变,直到19世纪末被其他形式的蒸汽机和电力所取代。发展始于1755年从英国进口的美国第一台梁式发动机的引进,经历了美国制造的发动机的快速增长,并在19世纪中后期在美国中西部和东部的大都市自来水厂,美国西部的深矿,以及第一次将美国团结在一起的明轮船上达到高潮。[关键词]蒸汽机工程采矿桨式蒸汽机工厂19世纪美国致谢本文得益于克里斯·艾伦和保罗·斯蒂芬斯的深刻评论,以及期刊编辑朱莉娅·埃尔顿的评论,所有这些都是非常感谢的。注1 J.

AbstractLudwig Loewy was a Jewish engineer who left Nazi Germany in 1936 to set up an engineering firm in London as a refugee. Britain was rearming, and a new generation of aircraft was being developed based on light alloy construction. The new Loewy Engineering Company had the expertise to supply presses and rolling mills required for alloy fabrication, which were otherwise supplied from Germany at a time of growing tension. The new firm also built a giant tube press for steel for the Admiralty. Loewy’s new company grew rapidly in London, helped by a workforce of refugee engineers and managers and ‘many thousands’ of machinery drawings from Germany. Loewy became a technical advisor to the British Government’s production programme for aircraft until his death in 1942. Back in Germany, Loewy’s former firm, Schloemann in Düsseldorf, was Aryanised after his departure. Schloemann continued to supply equipment into the UK until the outbreak of war and went on to help the German and Italian war effort. Ludwig was dispossessed of his major share in the Company, and the history of Schloemann was rewritten. Ludwig Loewy’s rapid assimilation owed much to earlier contacts with the UK engineering and metals establishment, his expertise in a sector that was growing rapidly and short of skills, customers who needed his technology, and his own personal energy and drive. The Government welcomed his contribution to aircraft and warship production at a time of break-neck rearmament. Ludwig Loewy’s experience supports the view that German-speaking refugee engineers were readily accepted in the UK from 1933 to 1945.Keywords: hydraulic pressextrusion pressrolling milldraw-benchaluminiumduraluminmagnesium alloysLoewy EngineeringSchloemannrearmamentRoyal Air ForceAdmiralty AcknowledgementsSpecial thanks to Deborah Jaffé and Anna Nyburg, who encouraged my interest in this topic.

Blood, sweat, and skins—and cement, and cinema, and searchlights: Carl Akeley’s adventures in inventing 鲜血、汗水、皮肤、水泥、电影、探照灯:卡尔·阿克利的发明冒险

Carl Akeley is a familiar figure in the world of museums, scientific exploration, conservation, and especially taxidermy—his innovations in that field in the early 20th century led peers to dub him ‘The Father of Modern Taxidermy’. But Akeley’s knack for innovation stretched far beyond mounting animal skins. As one colleague put it, ‘his practical mechanical resourcefulness was almost uncanny’. Akeley invented the ‘cement gun’ and sprayable concrete (aka ‘gunite’), a revolutionary movie camera embraced by Hollywood studios and documentarists, several ‘improved’ searchlight reflectors during World War I (when he was appointed a Consulting Engineer for the Army), and an assortment of other devices—more than 30 patents in all. One common thread tied all these efforts together: envisioning a problem, and devising a solution. This article presents an account of Carl Akeley’s inventive side, describing the wide array of inventions that grew from his natural mechanical aptitude, and his tireless passion to fabricate, and then improve.
卡尔·阿克利(Carl Akeley)在博物馆、科学探索、保护,尤其是标本剥制术领域是一个熟悉的人物——他在20世纪初在该领域的创新使同行们称他为“现代标本剥制术之父”。但阿克利的创新能力远不止于制作动物皮。正如一位同事所言,“他在机械方面的实际智谋几乎是不可思议的”。阿克利发明了“水泥枪”和可喷混凝土(又名“喷混凝土”),一种革命性的电影摄影机,受到好莱坞电影公司和纪录片制片人的欢迎,在第一次世界大战期间,他发明了几种“改进”的探照灯反射器(当时他被任命为陆军咨询工程师),以及其他各种各样的设备——总共有30多项专利。将所有这些努力联系在一起的是一条共同的主线:设想一个问题,并设计一个解决方案。这篇文章介绍了卡尔·阿克利的发明创造的一面,描述了从他天生的机械天赋和他不知疲倦的激情制造,然后改进的广泛的发明。

This article examines the adoption of steam power to industry in London after 1780. It demonstrates that although steam power was less intensively applied in the Capital than some areas, steam engines were installed more widely there than hitherto documented, in a range of enterprises. The article also shows that the dominance of Boulton and Watt in London has been exaggerated and examines the early use of high pressure engines.
这篇文章考察了1780年后伦敦工业采用蒸汽动力的情况。这表明,虽然蒸汽动力在首都的应用不如某些地区那么密集,但在一系列企业中,蒸汽机的安装比迄今为止有记载的要广泛。文章还表明,博尔顿和瓦特在伦敦的统治地位被夸大了,并考察了高压发动机的早期使用。

Military engineers and the transmission of the technical knowledge: Spanish global fortification (16th-19th centuries) 军事工程师和技术知识的传播:西班牙全球防御工事(16 -19世纪)
Pub Date : 2022-07-03 DOI: 10.1080/17581206.2022.2163215
I. Gil-Crespo
The defense of the Spanish Empire had to be committed to the fortification of coasts and harbours along the World. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Spain and Portugal were linked. Between Madrid and Lisbon, the kings made decisions about the government and the fortification of half of Europe, the Atlantic archipelagos, America, the coast of Africa from Algeria to Somalia, India and part of Asia. The development of artillery and military technology obliged to improve fortification techniques and apply them globally. The bastioned fortification was, perhaps, the first human product to spread globally throughout the World. So, engineers had to design the defenses of, for example, Oran (in the North of Africa), Terceira (an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean), Havana (in the Caribbean Sea), the Strait of Magellan (South of Chile) or Manila (Philippines). In several cases, the same engineer had to work in three or four continents. The paper will deal with several notable examples, between the 16th to 19th centuries, with the aim to show the transmission and application of the technical knowledge by the hand of engineers.
西班牙帝国的防御必须致力于在世界各地的海岸和港口设防。在16和17世纪,西班牙和葡萄牙联系在一起。在马德里和里斯本之间,国王们对半个欧洲、大西洋群岛、美洲、从阿尔及利亚到索马里的非洲海岸、印度和亚洲部分地区的政府和防御工事做出了决定。火炮和军事技术的发展促使防御工事技术得到改进,并在全球范围内得到应用。这个堡垒式的防御工事也许是第一个在全球范围内传播的人类产品。因此,工程师们必须设计防御工事,例如奥兰(北非)、特塞拉(大西洋中部的一个岛屿)、哈瓦那(加勒比海)、麦哲伦海峡(智利南部)或马尼拉(菲律宾)。在一些情况下,同一个工程师不得不在三到四个大洲工作。本文将处理几个著名的例子,从16世纪到19世纪,目的是展示技术知识的传递和应用的工程师之手。

The article focuses on the early years of the Buarcos coal mine, when the Portuguese mineralogist, Bonifácio de Andrada a former Government’s fellow in Paris and also the Freiberg Academy, was appointed the Intendant of Mines (1801). Under the patronage of the influential Minister Sousa Coutinho, he was put in charge of the Buarcos mine. He was knowledgeable on advances made in European mining technology, so to increase coal production he ordered a Boulton and Watt steam engine for mines drainage. This appears to be the first steam engine imported to Portugal for industrial purposes. It was shipped in January 1804 but for the reasons discussed in this article, the engine was never installed. Despite this failed attempt, this less known episode in Portuguese industrial history marks, in a way, the start of the steam era in Portugal.
这篇文章着重介绍了布阿尔科斯煤矿的早期情况,当时葡萄牙矿物学家Bonifácio de Andrada(前政府在巴黎的研究员,也是弗莱堡学院的研究员)被任命为煤矿主管(1801年)。在有影响力的部长索萨·库蒂尼奥(Sousa Coutinho)的支持下,他被派去负责布阿尔科斯矿。他了解欧洲采矿技术的进步,因此为了增加煤炭产量,他订购了一台博尔顿和瓦特蒸汽机,用于矿井排水。这似乎是葡萄牙为工业目的进口的第一台蒸汽机。它于1804年1月发货,但由于本文讨论的原因,发动机从未安装。尽管这一尝试失败了,但在葡萄牙工业历史上,这一鲜为人知的事件在某种程度上标志着葡萄牙蒸汽时代的开始。

is clear that there was a significant impact on company employees and the local population. For the workforce there was a steep learning curve regarding the new technology, learning by trial and error, running a steam-powered railway that still employed conventional horse traction with the steam traction based on an astonishing number of some eighty locomotives of individual designs and features. So, not only is a study of pioneering locomotives presented but also a human story through ordinary members of the public coming to accept a new element in their everyday lives, either as innocent bystanders or being exposed to dangers presented to life and limb. Locomotive drivers, in what appears as a common theme of the early steam railway, are seen as a law unto themselves and here are stories that flesh out and depict an almost lawless environment on the Sirhowy. To sum up, the book will appeal to a wide audience that is wider than those interested in the railways of South Wales in that it provides an insight into the operation of a technological ‘dead-end’ in terms of a steam tramroad system that worked until the 1860s.
很明显,这对公司员工和当地居民产生了重大影响。对于工人们来说,学习新技术有一个陡峭的曲线,他们在不断的试验和错误中学习,运行一条蒸汽动力的铁路,仍然使用传统的马匹牵引,而蒸汽牵引基于大约80台不同设计和特点的机车。因此,这不仅是一部关于机车先驱的研究,也是一部人类故事,通过普通公众接受他们日常生活中的新元素,或者作为无辜的旁观者,或者被暴露在生命和肢体的危险中。机车司机似乎是早期蒸汽铁路的一个共同主题,他们被视为自己的法律,这里有一些故事充实和描绘了sirhoway上几乎无法无天的环境。总而言之,这本书将吸引广泛的观众,比那些对南威尔士铁路感兴趣的人更广泛,因为它提供了一个深入了解技术“死胡同”的运作,就蒸汽有轨电车系统而言,一直工作到19世纪60年代。

Cotton mule spinning after Richard Roberts 以理查德·罗伯茨的名字命名的棉骡子纺纱
Pub Date : 2022-07-03 DOI: 10.1080/17581206.2023.2183167

Patents and records of textile machine makers provide a greater understanding of the development of mule spinning in the cotton industry after the invention of the self-acting mule by Richard Roberts in 1830. Hand mules continued in use for the spinning of finer yarns, and developed into machines that were hand controlled rather than hand powered. They were built in considerable numbers until the 1860s and some machines continued in use after 1900. Other persons invented self-acting mules but the only one to achieve any success was that by James Smith of Deanston, examples of which were built in small numbers until at least the 1860s. Refinements enabled the self-actor to replace hand mules after the 1860s, but they continued to incorporate the inventions of Roberts. Winding was a crucial area and machine makers adopted different approaches that reflect the range of yarns their machines were to spin.
在理查德·罗伯茨于1830年发明了自动作用的纺纱机之后,纺织机械制造商的专利和记录使人们对棉纺工业中骡子纺纱的发展有了更深入的了解。手骡子继续用于纺纱,并发展成为手控制而不是手驱动的机器。直到19世纪60年代,它们都在大量生产,一些机器在1900年后仍在使用。其他人也发明了自动动作的骡子,但唯一取得成功的是迪恩斯顿的詹姆斯·史密斯,直到19世纪60年代,这种骡子才开始少量生产。在19世纪60年代之后,自我表演的改进使得手工骡子取代了手工骡子,但他们继续融入罗伯茨的发明。绕线是一个至关重要的领域,机器制造商采用了不同的方法来反映他们的机器要纺的纱线的范围。
