Paperback. Etat : 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. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332229628_0
