Talk:William Bryson (electrical engineer)

Latest comment: 6 years ago by Paladyn-john

William Alexander Byrson was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, thus meeting WP:ACADEMIC Criterion 3.

Speculatively, the reason for the move of F. A. Fitzbayne from Great Yarmouth the Leith in 1906 was the death of William Alexander Bryson in that year, which makes it likely that the initial installation of the Leith Electric Tram was under the supervision of William Alexander Byrson.

The first Electric Tram in Leith (indeed the first in Scotland), opened 3rd November 1905Paladyn-john (talk) 09:00, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[1]Reply

Leith was seem to have been more electricity oriented than Edinburgh, as demonstrated by the need, until 1923, to switch from an electric Leith tram to an Edinburgh Cable Tram. Paladyn-john (talk) 09:00, 16 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
