James Watt bio je škotski izumitelj i inženjer strojarstva. Njegove nadogradnje na Newcomenovom parnom stroju bile su od temeljne važnosti za promjene koje je donijela industrijska revolucija.
James Watt, was a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer. His improvements to the Newcomen steam engine were fundamental to the changes brought by the Industrial Revolution.James Watt
(1736 – 1819)
Watt je počeo razvijati proces 1779. i napravio je
mnoge eksperimente da formulira tintu, odabere
tanki papir, razvije metodu za vlaženje posebnog
tankog papira i napravi prešu pogodnu za
primjenu ispravnog pritiska kako bi ostvario
transfer.
Watt started to develop the process in 1779. and made many experiments to formulate the ink, select the thin paper, to devise a
method for wetting the special thin paper, and to make a press suitable for applying the correct
pressure to effect the transfer.

James Clerk Maxwell bio je škotski matematički fizičar.
Njegov najistaknutiji uspjeh bio da formulira skup
jednadžbi koje opisuju struju, magnetizam i optiku
kao manifestacije iste pojave, odnosno
elektromagnetskog polja.
James Watt, James Clerk Maxwell was a Scottish mathematical
physicist. His most prominent achievement was to formulate a
set of equations that describe electricity, magnetism, and optics
as manifestations of the same phenomenon, namely the
electromagnetic field. James Clerk Maxwell(1831 – 1879)
Nakon dvije godine studiranja Maxwell je zaključio da Saturnovi prstenovi moraju biti sastavljeni od brojnih malih čestica. Maxwell je 1859. nagrađen sa £130 za njegov esej “O stabilnost Saturnovih prstenova".
After two years of studying Maxwell concluded that Saturn’s rings must be composed of numerous small particles. In1859. Maxwell was awarded £130 for his essay “On the stability of Saturn's rings”. Saturn
