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

Review

• 600 subscribers -- 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 and single 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.
