Abstract
MR. WILSON HARTNELL, who died on November 10 in his eighty-second year, was well known in connection with his work on steam-engine governors. He was elected a member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in 1872, and his paper on automatic expansion gears, read in 1882, has been a mine from which hosts of engineers interested in governors have extracted theorems and data of great practical value.
