Question #8

Heather: What was the state of "the academy" of science and how did this impact the scientist's work?

Alexander Miles: When I started getting interested in improving the elevator, it was about the beginning of the industrial era. Not many people had taken much interest in the elevator so much of what i did was a huge impact on its history. I think that if more people would've taken interest in it, there would not have been much room for improvement for me.
