Excerpt from Who Invented the Screw Propeller?: Were the Patented Propellers of Francis Pettit Smith in Every Respect Direct Plagiarisms?
I should be sorry that anything I have stated under the first head, respecting the eminent gentlemen who took so prominent a part in the early introduction of the Screw Propeller, should be construed as in any Way reflecting upon them. To do so, they may rest assured, I have not the remotest intention. They are, so far as I can judge, worthy of greater honour than has yet been accorded to them, for their indefatigable and praiseworthy exertions in establishing so speedily and successfully the practical introduction of so useful and universal an art.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the widely-held belief that Francis Pettit Smith was the sole inventor of the screw propeller. The author offers a comprehensive narrative of the historical development of the propeller, arguing that Smith's patent was based on the prior work of others. Through an analysis of existing sources, the book provides a detailed account of the experiments, trials, and contributions of various individuals and groups involved in the invention's development. The book sheds light on the complex process of technological innovation, highlighting the collaborative nature of scientific progress and questioning the traditional narratives that often overlook the contributions of lesser-known figures. Ultimately, this book seeks to restore the true story of the screw propeller's invention, giving due credit to the unsung heroes whose work paved the way for this revolutionary technology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
