SUMMARY:Free Talk: Timothy Hackworth\, the man who engineered a future for the locomotive
DESCRIPTION:The delivery of power to the steam locomotive was the key to its adoption and success. What ends with the engineering accomplishments of Sir Nigel Gresley\, started with the engineering achievements of Timothy Hackworth. His story includes the missed opportunity of his most powerful design\, the markers he laid down for the Stockton and Darlington Railway before they were taken up by others and his unique contribution to the works at Shildon. \nMike Norman’s background in IT was at the forefront of the technology of the Information Revolution\, and he now draws on that experience in defining the pioneering key developments of the steam locomotive. He is the author of ‘It Wasn’t Rocket Science’ – a biography of the life and times of Timothy Hackworth which\, set during preparations for the 1893 Columbian Exposition held in Chicago\, is told through the eyes of a grandson.
