5 Berry, George
SUBJECT AREA: Agricultural and food technology[br]b. Missouri, USA fl. 1880s[br]American farmer who developed the first steam-powered, self-propelled combine harvester.[br]Born in Missouri, George Berry moved to a 4,000 acre (1,600 hectare) farm at Lindsay in California, and between 1881 and 1886 built himself a steam-driven combine harvester. Berry's machine was the first self-propelled harvester and the first to use straw as a fuel. A single boiler powered two engines: a 26 hp (19 kW) Mitchell Fisher engine provided the forward drive, whilst a 6 hp (4 kW) Westinghouse engine drove the threshing mechanism. Cleaned straw was passed by conveyor back to the firebox, where it provided the main fuel. The original machine had a 22 ft cut, but a later machine extended this to 40 ft and harvested 50 acres a day, although on one occasion it achieved the distinction of being the first harvester to cut over 100 acres in one day. The traction engine used for motive power was removable and was used after harvest for ploughing. It was the first engine to be capable of forward and reverse motion.In later life Berry moved into politics, becoming a member of the California Senate for Inyo and Tulare in the 1890s.[br]Further ReadingG.Quick and W.Buchele, 1978, The Grain Harvesters, American Society of Agricultural Engineers (gives an account of combine-harvester development).AP -

8 Bunch, Cordia C.
SUBJECT AREA: Medical technology[br]b. 30 April 1885 Tama, Iowa, USAd. 1942 St Louis, Missouri, USA[br]American otolaryngological psychiatrist, principal exponent and developer of the techniques of audiometry.[br]Bunch graduated as a teacher in Iowa at Tama College in 1902 and held posts as a teacher and the school head until 1914. He was engaged in various posts as a psychologist and otolaryngologist from 1917 to 1925, obtaining his PhD in 1920, and was involved in otolaryngological research at Johns Hopkins University from 1927 to 1930. He was appointed Professor of Applied Physiology of Otolaryngology at Washington University, St Louis, in 1930, and became engaged in the development and applications of pure tone audiometry.[br]Bibliography1943, Clinical Audiometry.Further ReadingHester \& Stevens, 1984, "Audiometers", Audiology.MG -
9 Sickels, Frederick Ellsworth
[br]b. 20 September 1819 Gloucester County, New Jersey, USAd. 8 March 1895 Kansas City, Missouri, USA[br]American inventor of a steam-inlet cut-off valve mechanism for engines and steam steering apparatus for ships.[br]Sickels was educated in New York City, where his father was a practising physician. As he showed mechanical aptitude, at the age of 16 he joined the Harlem Railroad as a rod man, and a year later became a machinist in the Allaire Works in New York, studying physics and mechanics in his spare time. He perfected his cut-off mechanism for drop valves in 1841 and patented it the following year. The liberating mechanism allowed the valve to fall quickly onto its seat and so eliminated "wire-drawing" of the steam, and Sickels arranged a dashpot to prevent the valve hitting the seat violently. Through further improvements patented in 1843 and 1845, he gained a considerable fortune, but he subsequently lost it through fighting patent infringements because his valve gear was copied extensively.In 1846 he turned his attention to using a steam engine to assist the steering in ships. He filed a patent application in 1849 and completed a machine in 1854, but he could not find any ship owner willing to try it until 1858, when it was fitted to the August. A patent was granted in 1860, but as no American ship owners showed interest Sickels went to England, where he obtained three British patents; once again, however, he found no interest. He returned to the United States in 1867 and continued his fruitless efforts until he was financially ruined. He patented improved compound engines in 1875 and also contributed improvements in sinking pneumatic piles. He turned to civil engineering and engaged in railway and bridge construction in the west. In about 1890 he was made Consulting Engineer to the National Water Works Company of New York and in 1891 became Chief Engineer of its operations at Kansas City.[br]Further ReadingDictionary of American Biography, 1935, Vol. XVII, New York: C.Scribner's Sons.

10 Smith, Charles Shaler
SUBJECT AREA: Civil engineering[br]b. 1836 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USAd. 1886 St Louis, Missouri, USA[br]American bridge engineer.[br]Smith's early career started as an assistant to Albert Fink; he later became a divisional engineer for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. During the Civil War, he served as a Captain of Engineers in the Confederate Army. In 1886 he went into partnership with Benjamin H. and Charles H.Latrobe in the Baltimore Bridge Company; his greatest achievement was the Kentucky Railroad Bridge built for the Cincinnati Southern Railroad in 1876–7. The cantilever that he used for this bridge was entirely novel, and soon became the standard type of construction for long spans. He is also well known for the Lachine bridge across the St Lawrence River near Montreal, Quebec, which was started in 1880 and was, for many years, the only continuous-span bridge of any importance in North America.[br]Further Reading1964, Concise Dictionary of American Biography, New York: Charles Scribner.IMcN -
