In Georgian London, Henry Maudslay started an engineering works
that was to become world famous, and not just for the engines it
made, but also for the engineers who received their training there
and went on to bigger and better things. At a time when engineering
and machines were in their infancy, the designers and engineers at
Maudslay's soon became famous. From Maudslay himself to Joseph
Whitworth (who founded Armstrong Whitworth), David Napier (designer
and builder of the first Cunard steamships), Richard Roberts
(designer of power looms) and James Nasmyth (inventor of the steam
hammer), the list of engineers of world repute is amazing. A
fascinating study of what was the hotbed of British engineering in
the early 1800s. Without these men the Industrial Revolution would
not have been possible.
