For this one I will use the same scale as I do for all my reviews.
devices for grinding wheat, regulating springs in railway cars,[8] machinery for processing felted cloth, machinery for brewing liquors, papermaking machinery, machinery that produced dinnerware, and improvements in machinery technology for the smelting of glass, metal, and porcelain. He also made improvements to machinery that made pigments for ink, gas lighting, and waterproofing fabrics": this could really stand to be broken out into individual sentences for each, if sources exist that can do so.
At one of the meetings of the IMechE in 1850, in discussions about the enormous problem of railway axle failures, Hodge made the very interesting suggestion that "To arrive at any true results as to the structure of iron it would be necessary to call in the aid of the microscope, to examine the fibrous and crystalline structure."Microscope analysis of the crystal structure of metals is a big-ass deal (and continues to be so today)!
@ Doug Coldwell: A good article, a pleasure to read, and informative about a subject few would be capable of writing in this much detail about. Would be thrilled to pass after the repair of the two sections mentioned above. jp× g 20:41, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
