This has been around in the backlog long enough, I'll take a stab at this. Sohom (talk) 14:52, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

-- I don't think subscribers is the right term here.although it is unknown if White was aware of its separate invention by clockmakers, first attested by Joseph Williamson c. 1720.
-- This is a bit hard to parse, what does first attested by mean in the context?bolstered by cross-Channel transmission
-- cross-channel?possibly indicating his acquaintanceship
-- Why possibly?possibly indicating that his parents were Nonconformists.
-- Is this backed up by the source, feels like a bit of a stretch to assume this?- It would be usefull to put the things he invented into context with one line explaining what they were. While I do have a background in engineering (CS based tho lol)
out-flow radial turbine
andsingle and double helical gears
are not things I can immediately conjur up mental pictures for and it takes me a while to parse/figure out what they are. - Sources check out
