IMechE – the Past
Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
Founded in 1847 by George Stephenson and other
mechanical engineers: “To enable engineers to meet …and
correspond, and by a mutual interchange of ideas respecting
improvements in the various branches of mechanical science to
increase their knowledge, and to give impulse to inventions likely
to be useful to the world.”
Distinguished members of the IMechE and contributors to
the Proceedings of the IMechE:
• George Stephenson – the father of the railways
• Charles William Siemens – established the telegraph network, and was part of the
Siemens family who started the famous German company of that name
• Joseph Whitworth – famous for precision manufacturing, including rifling of weapons
• Frank Whittle – the father of jet propulsion
• Charles Algernon Parsons – invented the steam turbine, used in propulsion of ships
and power generation (and still used to generate most of our electricity)
• Rudolph Diesel – invented the diesel engine
