SUMMARY:'Joseph Bramah (1748/9 - 1814)' by Tim Brown
DESCRIPTION:Image Credit: Public domain via Wikimedia Commons (US public domain tag) \nJoining us IN PERSON – just turn up\, there’s no need to register\nJoining us ON-Line – click this zoom link \nThis illustrated lecture is an introduction to the South Yorkshire-born inventor and polymath Joseph Bramah (1748/49 – 1814). It is aimed at tempting those who know little about him to discover more. Hopefully it should contain enough subsidiary information to excite the interests of potential Bramah scholars too. \nThe talk is intended to demonstrate that Bramah’s innovations in the disciplines of sanitary engineering\, lock making\, fire engine development and the practical uses of hydraulic power – as well as the inventor’s pioneering introduction of precision and mass production into metalwork manufacture – had a lasting impact on industrial progress. \nIn deciding what to include\, the talk ventures beyond Joseph’s lifespan to introduce later manufacturers who advanced Bramah’s trail-blazing works within their own contemporary fields. \nAbout the Speaker\nTim Brown is a speaker\, researcher and historian of engineering.
