James Samuel

James Samuel

James Samuel (1824 – 1874) was a railway engineer who was appointed engineer to the Eastern Counties Railway in 1846. He held two important patents: the first mechanism for the compounding of steam locomotives, granted in 1850, and the railway fishplate of 1844. In both cases, however, the invention was the work of another.
