The word MOTOR edit

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I see the word "motor" is used in this timeline as a retronym. I doubt Gordon and Franklin used this word. I think most of the early inventors used the word "rotor" or "rotating apparatus" or anything else.

Does anyone know who used the word "motor" for the 1st. time to describe his invention or someone else's?

Link to wrong Walter Baily edit

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The page contains a link to the wrong Walter Baily, at 1879. It links to Walter Lewis Baily Jr the 20th century American mathematician, not Walter Baily the 19th century electrical engineer. Sadly, there appears to be no Wikipedia page for the correct Baily.45.26.49.244 (talk) 19:52, 28 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
