Mechanical Engineering at the National Research Council of Canada, 1929-1951
W.E. Knowles Middleton, continuing his series of books on the history of the National Research Council of Canada, here presents a history of the challenges, defeats and triumphs of mechanical engineering at the Council. Throughout much of the history of the National Research Council, the Division of Mechanical Engineering has been mostly preoccupied with problems of aeronautics. During World War II the Division constituted an aeronautical laborat…

Some Italian visitors to the early Royal Society
Scholars in Tuscany heard early in 1661 that the Royal Society had been formed. This was by way of a letter from Dr John Finch, later Sir John and F.R.S., a fervent Italophile who had taken the degree of M.D. at Padua and was professor of anatomy at Pisa from 1655 until at the restoration of Charles II in 1660 he returned temporarily to England. In this letter he flattered its recipient, Prince Leopold, by referring to the establishment in London…
The History of Meteorology to 1800
What did Charles II call the Fellows of the Royal Society
I have shown elsewhere that in 1660 and 1661 both Robert Southwell (1635-1702, later Sir Robert and P.R.S.), and Sir John Finch (1626-1682) tried to establish a correspondence between the virtuosi in England and in Florence, more especially between Prince Leopold de’ Medici and Robert Boyle, by far the most widely known English man of science at that time. For some mysterious reason the desired correspondence did not take place; Boyle did not wri…
Science in Rome, 1675–1700, and the Accademia Fisicomatematica of Giovanni Giustino Ciampini
In Italy the physical sciences had several decades of prosperity during the first half of the seventeenth century, largely because of the genius of Galileo Galilei and the efforts of a small constellation of his talented followers. But Galileo died in 1642, and before the end of the 1640s three of the most gifted of his disciples, Castelli, Renieri, and Torricelli, had also gone to a better life, to use the favourite euphemism of the time. Therea…

The Evolution of the Microscope
A History of the Theories of Rain
A footnote to the history of the barometer
Among the ‘Classified Papers’ at the Royal Society, there are two small sheets of paper unsigned and undated, bearing an unfinished article by Robert Hooke entitled, ‘Of Aerostatick Instruments’.1 Although it is undated, the watermark is the same as that in the paper of another autograph by Hooke, dated 18 July 1683.2 The two specimens of Hooke’s rather variable handwriting— he was in one of his less legible phases at this time—are also almost ex…
Jacob Hermann and the Kinetic Theory
The beginning of the kinetic theory of gases is usually assigned to the year 1738, when Daniel Bernouilli's Hydrodynamica appeared at Strasbourg. The famous tenth section of this book pursued some of the consequences of the assumption that ‘elastic fluids’ consist of innumerable tiny particles in rapid motion. It was, as everyone knows, forgotten for many decades
