I have found some sources that talk about a Samuel Brown in connection with an early version of the internal combustion engine - see Samuel Brown (engineer). The dates are broadly similar and one Greenwich site clearly thinks the two men are one and the same, but I have yet to find another source corroborating this.

I noted the similarity but also haven't seen any document that confirms this; I have all the documents listed in the bibliography, none of which mention any work on the internal combustion engine (and given it's significance you'd think they would!) I think we have to leave things as they are unless we can find a definitive reference. -- Kvetner 12:36, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have now determined that Samuel Brown (engineer) is a different person. Paul W 11:28, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
