The indicator diagram came along about 80 years after the Newcomen engine. Another case of science trailing invention. Science is shockingly conventional, un-imaginative, and resistant to new ideas. Or at least the scientific community is. "Science progresses one funeral at a time."

Yes, observations and inventions are usually made by amateur experimenters, and scientists are inspired (actually surprised) and follow up with theory to make things better. Not always, but usually. The airplane is a good example. There are a few cases where scientists really invented something based on theory. The maser is one example, and the bipolar transistor was an accident discovered while investigating solid-state physics with a practical goal. Radar, maybe, but it had hints from accidental observations. Science education should include courses in thinking crazy.

I suppose they test their stuff before they ship it, which is why about 80% of the Chinese electronics works right when it arrives. But I don't buy assembled electronics, I design electronics from parts. This is a design newsgroup.

Asbestos wasn't unique to the USA. Nor were cigarettes, except that americans could afford lots of cigs. Hardly anyone around here smokes tobacco any more.
