OSBORNE REYNOLDS, 1842-1912, AND THE FLOW OF FLUIDS THROUGH TUBES
Chase Farm Hospital Enfield, Middlesex, England
As a lecturer he had very definite ways of his own. A lecture which began with a discussion of the thermodynamics of a steam engine, might easily end up with an investigation of the energy transmitted by a hammer, having in the meantime touched lightly on the dilatency of sand... Struck by a new idea in the middle of a lecture, he would begin to work at this on the blackboard, quite oblivious of his audience.
