Nasmyth the Steam Hammer Inventor’s Lively Life
The piece recounts James Nasmyth born 1808, inventor of the steam hammer, who outlived his own predicted age by two years. It notes his early talent, his mother’s artistic circle in Edinburgh, his London period as an inventor’s assistant, and his move to Manchester after a meeting with the Grant brothers. Nasmyth’s career includes building a cooking stove, launching a foundry, and creating steady invention flow, culminating in retirement at 48 to a Kent cottage where he pursued astronomy with caution in investments.
