Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Corliss, George Henry 1817-1888 (search)

Corliss, George Henry 1817-1888 Inventor; born in Easton, N. Y., June 2, 1817; was educated in Castleton, Vt.; settled in Providence, R. I., in 1844. After several minor inventions he became famous by perfecting the great engine which bears his name, and is now known the world over. At the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, in 1876, a single Corliss engine, of 1,400 horse-power, ran all the machinery in Machinery Hall. Eminent engineers predicted that the great engine, which weighed over 700 tons, would cause much noise and trouble, but it proved a smoothrunning and complete success. He died in Providence, R. I., Feb. 21, 1888.
