Sir Henry Fowler KBE by John Kyte Pdf
Sir Henry Fowler was born in Evesham and educated in Birmingham. He went on to become the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) and President of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers. Sir Henry was inventive, industrious and generous. In addition to his mechanical creativity, he was also a bell-ringer, keen amateur cricketer, hockey-player, devout Christian and devoted family man. This book is the first one to look at Sir Henry in the whole; considering his life rather than his inventions. An important and useful study to anyone interested in the history of engineering in Great Britain in the Twentieth Century.
