A short obituary notice in Scientific American for Samuel Hall of Basford Hall, near Nottingham, who died aged 82. It credits him with the gassing of lace, in which a gas flame was drawn through the lace by a vacuum to burn off loose fibers, and with the bleaching of starch. It also mentions his marine engineering patents, including a surface condenser for steam, smoke combustion and a paddlewheel reefing device, and his family connections.
