James Nasmyth: Autobiography Edited by SAMUEL SMILES, LL.D. (Originally published in 1883) HTML version produced by Eric Hutton 1995 Local on-line copy This online book is the complete autobiography of James Nasmyth (1808-1890) including illustrations. Nasmyth was the inventor of the steam hammer, shaper and lathe reversing mechanism among others. His most important invention was his contribution of the self acting principle of machine design. He was a contemporary of Muadslay (the inventor of the screw turning lathe) and Bessemer (the inventor of the bulk steel conversion process). Written in an easy down to earth style, Nasmyth brings to life the world of early 1800's England. His discriptions of the technology of the times and improvements made during this part of the industrial revolution should be required reading for engineering and history students alike. Nasmyth starts his narrative with some family history including a humorus story about the origin of his name. He continues with his unusual (by modern standards) early education, his youthful endevors into mechanics and admiration of James Watt (the steam engineer). He discribes how he became Maudslay's assistant and eventualy starting his own machine manufacturing business. Among the many drawings reproduced is a copy from his design notebook of The original sketch of the steam hammer.

The image shown is a view of Archimedes and the Apennines. The height of the mountains in the model is not quite accurate, for the longest shadow should be cast by Mt. Hadley, the mountain furthermost left of center. In its shadow, nearly one hundred years later, Apollo 15 would become the fourth manned spacecraft to land on the lunar surface.

Nasmyth, James Scottish engineer and machine-tool manufacturer whose many inventions included the steam hammer 1839 for making large steel forgings. Nasmyth was born in Edinburgh and left school at the age of 12. As assistant to English toolmaker Henry Maudslay, he devised a flexible shaft of coiled spring steel for drilling holes in awkward places. After the death of Maudslay 1831, Nasmyth set up his own workshop, first in Edinburgh, then in Manchester, manufacturing machine tools, locomotives, and other machinery. His steam hammer was first used to make the propeller shaft for Isambard Kingdom Brunel's steamship Great Britain. Nasmyth devised many other tools, including a vertical cylinder-boring machine which speeded up the production of steam engines, and all manner of lateral, transverse, and rotating cutting machines.
