0.01 sec.

Read, Nathan (1750–1849) engineer; born in Warren, Mass. As a pharmacist, he worked on adapting Watt's steam engine to boats and road carriages. By 1791 he shared a patent for a chain-wheel method of using paddle wheels to propel a steamboat, but he never got financing to build it. He turned to iron manufacturing and in 1795 invented a machine for curring and heading nails. After 1800 he was active in politics.
