Yeah, I'll take your word for it. Googling that name on work internet seems like a bit of a gamble.

I went to school with a young lad called Stephen Ramsbottom (really nice guy). Nobody ever took the piss out of his name, because his best mate was huge (for our age), he was about a foot taller and always very serious looking ( but had the most feminine eyes and lashes). So Stephen was always left alone.

Whenever I think about Wankel engines and  apex seals, my mind turn s back towards piston engines and the elegant simplicity of piston rings. Hats off to this man.

(Eh... not that apex seals are complicated. ...I guess the simplicity and elegance is owed more towards the geometry of a cylinder. But still! Pistons are good, and split piston rings are such a great way to seal them)

Part man, part yeti. All engineer.

I’m pretty sure this is the most important Ramsbottom of our time:  https://despicableme.fandom.com/wiki/Silas_Ramsbottom
