MasterPlumbers
I am a german journalist and i need very urgently informations about alexander cumming, who reinvented in 1775 the water
closet, especially the stink trap (siphon). do you have informations about his life? and about the personal background of this
important invention? it’s correct that A.C. was born 1732 in edinburgh and went to london where he became a famous watchmaker who sold
a clockwork barograph to king george iii in 1765? please send me your mail as soon as possible. sincerely yours: robert kuhn -
There are references and pictures of his devices at:
