American engineer
Evans invented a mechanism which produced an almost linear movement. He became known as the inventor of various practical machines. So he designed a traction engine, built a high pressure steam engine and invented an automatic flour mill. Latter became an American standard, which lasted for several generations and can be described as one of the first fully automated production lines. Evans is also referred to as the "American watt".
