I wasn't an active member on Hour Lounge, but it was a wonderful community. It's too bad that it's no longer active.
It's still around

Ahh. Good to know.

Good group! I ran into a bunch of Hour Lounge participants at a Rolls-Royce dinner in Monterey nearly about a decade ago. Good times.

I am particularly interested in everything that is connected to the work and influence of Georges-Auguste Leschot. That would be from 1839 onwards then. Thanks anyway for the great read, Alex
Unfortunately not

But perhaps Leschot will have his collaboration with V&C told here in the future!
That would be great!

A great post and a wonderful book!
