EDWARD BUTLER

Edward Butler was born in 1862 in the house of Benjamin Gibbons Butler in Devon, England , He died in 1940 at the age of 78 in Surrey, Great Britain, Edward completed his education in Bossage, UK, He began his career at the North Welts Foundry in 1879 and later moved to London in 1881, where he worked at the Hatch man Iron Works.

Edward's fame was due to the discovery of a three-wheeled bicycle. It was the first bicycle of its time that needed the power of petrol instead of relying on human power, and to be honest, that's what made this bicycle special, Edward presented his bicycle plan at the Stanley Bicycle Show in London in 1884.

It was later built in 1888 at the Merryweather Fire Engine, Greenwich, and was renamed the Butler Patrol Bicycle, Edward's invention was considered one of the best technological advances of his time.

Later, in 1896, due to the lack of public interest and a few other reasons, Edward destroyed his bicycle and sold it for scrap, and also he sold his Patent to Harry J. Lawson

At the same time, he turned his attention to the manufacture of stationery and marine engines

On April 19, 1900, Edward wrote a letter to The Auto car, a local magazine, requesting that to publish his inventions, along with the early inventions of Carl Benz and William Daimler.

Edward later published several important engineering books in his lifetime, including the following:

• Carburetor, Vaporizer, Wolves (1909)
• Evolution of the Internal Combustion Engine (1912)
• The Vaporizing of Paraffin for High Speed ​​Motors (1917)
• Internal Combustion Engine Design and Practice (1920)
