Spanish engineer and inventor.
Cosme Garcia was the first spanish to invent a submarine, preceding to Narciso Monturiol and Isaac Peral. He offered several improvements to the post, where he built sealing machines in post offices. When he was regent of the National Press devised improvements in the casting of the printing. Similarly, the postage stamp machines were built by Cosme Garcia, and invented a breech-loading rifle, of which increased production to 500 units in Oviedo for two battalions of hunters, the official certificate reflecting that they could fire more than 3,000 shots without failure of the mechanism and without cleaning the gun, although these were stolen during the Glorious, at which time most of them disappeared.
