I didn't know about Maudslay! Interesting, his bust, even more than his portrait, reminds me of an engineer I worked for in the early 70's. And I recognized the names of two of those who worked for Maudslay. Whitworth of course, and David Napier, whom I confused with John Napier from an even earlier era - the name associated with natural logarithms. Reading about Maudslay brought me back to my childhood when my best buddy was given a metal lathe he was just getting the hang of. No erector sets for us!
