EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1920, a group of esteemed engineers, including Sir Hiram Maxim (front 2nd), gather at Furness Abbey for an institution event. The engineers, who are identified as William I. Am, Bryan, Frank, Alfred Chapman, Alderman Sir Hiram S. Maxim, Henry Maxwell, Sir Henry Stevens, Maw, Donkin, Pettigrew, Stileman, Strongitharm, Ivatt, and Aslett, are shown in formal attire, some wearing academic gowns, as they engage in conversation or admire their surroundings. Furness Abbey, located in Cumbria, England, is a historic monastery founded in the 12th century. The grand architecture and beautiful gardens of the abbey serve as a fitting backdrop for this gathering of brilliant minds. The engineers, who were likely members of a professional organization or alumni of a university, would have come together to discuss the latest advancements in their field, share knowledge, and strengthen their professional relationships. Sir Hiram Maxim, a renowned inventor and engineer, is the most prominent figure in the photograph. Maxim is best known for inventing the first practical machine gun, the Maxim Gun, which revolutionized warfare. His presence among this group of engineers underscores the significance of the event and the importance of engineering innovation during this period. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the camaraderie and intellectual curiosity of engineers during the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the important role that engineering has played in shaping our world and the enduring impact of the brilliant minds who have contributed to its advancement.
